Veteran Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has taken a swipe at FCT Minister Nyesom Wike over what he described as an unnecessary display of extravagance during a recent media briefing.
Doyle specifically criticized the lavish chair Wike used during the session, likening it to a “throne” and questioning its appropriateness for a public official addressing Nigerians.
He wrote:
“If this isn’t a throne I wonder what is. Why on earth would a minister of the Nigerian state mount a throne to address Nigerians. This is a sign of the psychosis afflicting Nigerian political office holders, delusion of grandeur.”
Netizens React:
Stanley Okocha commented: “He is the President of Abuja. He needs a throne for his media parley nau. The only Minister who addresses the media regularly. You want try Wike!”
Raymond Ogwu said: “You no see the mustache wey be like Hitler own? You think say the man well so?”
Olachi Ejiogu-Okeiyi added: “These are the things that nauseate me in Nigerian politics. How things like this become a norm is so scary. Thank you sir for condemning such🙏”
