Human rights activist and politician Omoyele Sowore has blasted the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, after he shared photos of his son graduating from a university in the United Kingdom.

On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, Wike took to his Facebook page to post photos of his son, Jordan, who earned a Master of Laws, LLM degree at Queen Mary University of London, UK.

His post garnered massive reactions from Nigerians who could not hold back their anger towards the post. Many complained about Wike’s audacity to ruin the country and send his children abroad to study.

Sowore, on his part, fired Wike for the photos. He stated that after spending many years as a public servant as a local government chairman, a minister of education, a governor and now a minister of the FCT, he could not build a single school that could admit his children.

According to Sowore, after spending many years as a public office holder, the Minister failed to build a school that could admit his son.

Sowore wrote, “Nyesom Wike served as a local government chairman for two terms, Minister of Education for four years, and Governor of Rivers State for two terms, totaling eight years.

“He is currently the FCT Minister, yet he sends his children to schools in the UK after the destruction of education in Nigeria and with funds stolen from the masses.”
