Patrick Doyle Berates Wike Over ‘Throne-like’ Chair at Media Briefing


Veteran actor Patrick Doyle has taken a swipe at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, for what he termed an unnecessary display of grandeur during a recent media briefing.

Doyle criticized Wike’s choice of seat during the event, describing it as a “throne” and questioning why a public official would choose such an ostentatious chair to address Nigerians.

Sharing his thoughts, Doyle said:
“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 — delusions of grandeur.”

The actor’s comments sparked a flurry of reactions online:

  • Stanley Okocha quipped: “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 mocked: “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.”
