Netizens have taken to social media to express concern for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, after he was seen limping during a public event. A video clip that has since gone viral showed Wike walking with a noticeable limp, sparking reactions and worry from Nigerians online.
Many users speculated that he might be dealing with health-related issues and urged him to take a break from his demanding political schedule to focus on his well-being.
While some say its a visible sign of partial stroke other commenters referenced the high-pressure nature of his role, especially with his recent political engagements and public appearances.
Here are a few reactions from X (formerly Twitter):
