Veteran Nigerian actor Patrick Doyle has publicly criticized Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike for what he described as an over-the-top display of extravagance during a recent media briefing.
Doyle took issue with the ornate chair Wike sat on during the interview, comparing it to a throne. He questioned why a public official would choose such a lavish setup to speak to citizens, implying that it reflected a deeper issue within the political class.
In a scathing remark, Doyle 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.”
