There is nothing wrong with Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Tony Okocha has said.

Okocha made the disclosure following reports on social media that Wike is sick.

Many Nigerians took to social media especially X to point out that Wike looks frail and has lost so much weight. They claimed that the minister’s appearance might be due to some form of ailment.

Others also pointed out that Wike, 56, is looking very much older than his age.

However, in his reaction, the APC Rivers chairman said the former governor is not sick but only watching his weight.

Okocha, a loyalist to Wike described the reports as untrue and unfounded.

He said, “The stories being peddled about his state of health are not true. How is he sick? Has anybody seen him falling or slump?

“The man is not sick. He is very agile and does what he was appointed to do. Do you even know if he is watching his weight?” Okocha queried.
