The President of the Nigerian Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has returned to the country after a brief vacation in London, firmly dismissing rumours of his critical illness and hospitalisation in the United Kingdom.
Senator Akpabio, who had earlier attended the sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva, took a short break in London before his return. His arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, in the early hours of Monday, was met with a warm reception from senators, aides, and supporters.
Speaking to journalists upon his arrival, Akpabio assured Nigerians of stronger parliamentary engagements when the Senate resumes, stating, “There’s nothing like such. I’m fit as a fiddle. I only stopped over in London for a short vacation.”
