Monday, August 18, 2025 - President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, GCON, returned to the country from London early this Monday morning, looking robust and dispelling rumours of ill health.
Some social media reports had claimed that Akpabio was
critically ill and admitted in a London hospital, but the Senate President
dismissed the rumours as the imagination of the purveyors. “There’s nothing
like such. I’m fit as a fiddle. I only stopped over in London for a short
vacation,” Akpabio said.
Recall that the Senate President had attended the Sixth
World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva between July 29 and 31st
after which he headed to London to rest after a hectic legislative year.
The Senate President, who touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport at 4.00am Monday was received at the Presidential Wing by
senators, aides and Nigerians from different walks of life.
Fielding questions from journalists on arrival, the Senate
President promised Nigerians robust legislative engagements on resumption. He
further justified the presence of a strong Nigerian delegation at the
International Parliamentary Union in Geneva, assuring the people of more
derivatives of democratic governance and effective collaboration with the other
arms of government.
