Allege Sickness: Northern Islamic Clerics Pray for Wike, Commend His Giant Strides in Abuja

A group of Islamic clerics in Northern Islamic Cleric have offered special prayers for the speedy recovery of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, following reports alleging that he has been battling with ill health.

The clerics, under the umbrella of the Council of Concerned Northern Ulamas, who converged on Kaduna for special prayers for the nation, ,extolled Wike’s leadership qualities and “giant developmental strides” since assuming office as FCT Minister.

Speaking after the prayer session, Sheikh Musa Abdullahi, one of the leading clerics, described Wike as “a pragmatic leader who has redefined governance in Abuja through infrastructure renewal, security enhancement, and people-oriented policies.”

He noted that although the minister has faced political attacks and rumours concerning his health, Nigerians should instead focus on supporting him to succeed in his national assignment.

"Our prayer is for Allah to grant him sound health, protection, and wisdom to continue serving the country. Wike has shown uncommon courage in transforming Abuja, and such a leader deserves encouragement, not false speculations,” Sheikh Abdullahi said.

The clerics also commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for entrusting Wike with the FCT portfolio, stressing that the ongoing reforms and visible projects in the capital city are “clear evidence of the renewed hope agenda at work.”

They urged Nigerians to shun divisive politics and join hands in prayers for leaders, insisting that national unity and development can only thrive in an atmosphere of peace and goodwill.

He was scheduled to commission some projects today is there any update on that? There is nothing wrong if he falls sick; after all, he is human. And of course, there is also nothing wrong with praying for him.

Why are you praying for someone who has told you he is healthy?

He has promised to hold his usual media chat and debunk the rumours about his health.
