On April 18, 2025, Nyesom Wike, Nigeria’s Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), announced a live media chat scheduled for 10:00 AM, to be broadcast on Channels TV, TVC, AIT, Arise News, NTA, and the FCTA’s social media platforms.
The announcement, shared via Wike’s official X handle (@GovWike), aimed to discuss his administration’s activities, sparking a wave of polarized reactions online.

Supporters hailed Wike’s move as a bold step toward transparency. One user described him as “the performing minister,” anticipating an “explosive” session.
The polarized responses underscore Wike’s divisive influence in Nigerian politics, amplified by his high-profile role under President Bola Tinubu’s administration. While some view his media engagement as accountability, others see it as political posturing.
As the live chat approaches, it remains a focal point for both Wike’s defenders and detractors, reflecting broader tensions in Nigeria’s socio-political landscape.
