Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nysom Wike said he had heart failure over rumour of his ill health while on holiday in the United Kingdom, by his critics on social media.
He said this on Thursday at the official flag-off of the construction of Arterial Road N1 from Wuye district to Ring Road 11 in Abuja where he denied report of been hospitalized after suffering heart failure.
Wike explained that he traveled to the United Kingdom where he took a break to rest without carrying along official files for the first time since he assumed office as FCT Minister.
“Since I took this appointment as FCT Minister, I’ve never gone for a holiday without taking files to work on.
“This time around, I said I must travel without any files to be able to relax well. Before I knew it, I heard people saying I was sick and had a heart attack”, he said.
