Falling Asleep In Public: Is Governor Nyeson Wike Of Rivers State Narcoleptic?

Since coming to office on May 29th, 2015 as
the governor of oil-rich Rivers state, Nyeson
Wike has often fallen asleep during public
functions. Sometimes deeply asleep and
snoring such that aides have to wake him up
so he could catch up with the rest of the
events or hurriedly leave to continue
sleeping.

The governor has continued to engage in these
embarrassing behaviors in the office, churches and public
gatherings in the state. Whereas cat naps or power naps
could be excused for sleep deprivation for someone being
overworked, Mr. Wike's public sleeping fests might be a
symptom of a bigger health issue.
