Akpabio Clarifies Health Issues on Return From London

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has refuted social media reports claiming he was critically ill and hospitalized in London.

Akpabio made this known following his return to Nigeria in the wee hours of Monday after a vacation in London.

Akpabio arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja at 4 am and was received at the presidential wing by senators, aides, and supporters.

Speaking with journalists at the airport, Akpabio described reports of his ill health as ‘the imagination of the purveyors,’ emphasising that he stopped over in London for a short vacation.

He said, “There’s nothing like such. I’m fit as a fiddle. I only stopped over in London for a short vacation.” 

Akpabio, who had earlier attended the sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva, Switzerland, from July 29 to 31, before proceeding to the UK, stated that the Nigerian delegation at the Geneva conference played a crucial role in advocating for deeper democratic governance and enhanced synergy between the arms of government.

Akpabio assured Nigerians of robust legislative engagements when the Senate resumes from recess.
