Social media commentator Isaac Fayose has questioned the inclusion of one of the sons of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, at a meeting with directors from the Ministry of Aviation and the FCT Administration.

In a post on his Instagram handle, Fayose queried why the minister’s son was seen in a photo alongside top government appointees, including Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development.

“What is Wike’s son doing in a meeting of the directors of the Ministry of Aviation and the FCT?” he asked.

The post has since generated several reactions on both Facebook and Instagram.

Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, is a vocal critic of the current administration and of Wike, who is a close ally of his brother.

Many commentators accused Wike of replicating what they described as President Bola Tinubu’s family-style governance, suggesting that the FCT Minister was adopting similar patterns of involving family members in sensitive government affairs.

Some critics likened the situation to the role of Seyi Tinubu, the president’s son, who has been seen at official engagements and reportedly wields influence in political and business circles.

Facebook users expressed disappointment over what they described as a growing culture of inherited political influence.

For instance, Dickson Eshiet Reloaded, wrote, "Operation promotes your son and I promote my son in the show. They are learning so fast from their leader, Jagaban.”

Oyeyemi Samuel Oluwatobi said, "He's doing catch them young. Small time now wike go say the boy no be Nigeria citizen."

Another Facebook user, Sunday Peter Osunleti said, "He's learning the job sir Naso Seyi Tinubu started."

Isaac Richards Anyakwu wrote, "Him they follow Tinubu foot step // as Seyi they attend Council of States meeting."

Blessyn Kayz Egede said, "He has started introducing his son into the circle and Lere olayinka still dey do errand boy."

However, many argue that Wike’s son's presence at such a meeting undermines professionalism and blurs the line between public office and family influence.
