The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is scheduled to appear on Politics Today on Thursday, September 18, 2025, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., amid rife rumors about his health.

Olalere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication and Social Media to the former Rivers State governor, confirmed the media engagement in a post on X.

“FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, will be on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, September 18, 2025, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.,” he wrote.

Unverified reports had earlier claimed that Wike traveled to the United Kingdom to seek medical attention after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure, according to Legit.ng. His prolonged absence from the public eye further fueled the speculation.
