Senate President Godswill Akpabio has dismissed rumours suggesting he was critically ill and hospitalised in London, clarifying that he only took a short vacation after official engagements abroad.
Akpabio, who attended the sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva from July 29 to 31, 2025, proceeded to London for a brief break before returning to Nigeria.
He arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at about 4:00 a.m. on Monday, where he was received at the presidential wing by senators, aides, and supporters.
Speaking to journalists, Akpabio said: “There’s nothing like such. I’m fit as a fiddle. I only stopped over in London for a short vacation.”
The Senate president assured Nigerians of stronger parliamentary engagements when the National Assembly reconvenes.
