I’m fit – Akpabio finally returns from London, makes promise to Nigerians

Senate President Godswill Akpabio, on Monday, came back to Nigeria after what his media office described as a short vacation in London.

This is even as Akpabio promised Nigerians “robust legislative engagements” when the senate resumes from recess.

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

The Senate President’s return comes after rumours circulated on social media that he was critically ill and hospitalised in London.

However, speaking with journalists on his return to the country at the airport, Akpabio dismissed the reports, describing them 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,” he said.

Akpabio had earlier attended the sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva, Switzerland, from July 29 to 31, before proceeding to the UK.

According to him, the Nigerian delegation at the conference played a significant role in advocating for deeper democratic governance and better synergy between arms of government.
