Nigerians react as Wike hosts suspended Rivers lawmakers
@OracleAyo
One thing I am happy about is that these people are no longer relevant in Rivers as in ''nobody dey see them.'' It's as if they don't even exist.

D end is not far off, no human is given dt grace to reign forever, it wl definitely come to an end someday, ds world belongs solely to God Almighty but allows mortals to reign for a season, we shouldn't be in a hurry to see it happen bcos it wl surely happen, I'm very sure of ds fact!!
@EmekaOraneche
At whose expense? State or Federal government? Is there a budgetary allocation to this? I think Nigerians need to know!

@wagnachewan
Host and Guests are all residents in Nigeria serving the government at various levels, so what’s the essence of the London hosting event? Not good optics in my opinion though I know that negroes reason differently
@OmobaAkileIjebu
After the dinner, he will move to France for medical check-up, and you will come here to say he went to greet the president. That's me saying the mind of his critics
Wike breaks silence after rumours of collapse
Legit.ng earlier reported that Wike refuted claims that he collapsed last week, labeling the reports as false and politically motivated.
Speaking on Thursday, April 3, after inspecting four ongoing projects in Abuja, including the International Conference Centre (ICC), Wike dismissed the rumors circulating on social media.
The minister's public appearance and inspection of key infrastructure projects appear to counter speculation about his health, reaffirming his commitment to the development of the FCT.
