Senate President Godswill Akpabio was spotted in London on Thursday night attending the birthday celebration of Nela Duke Ekpenyong, wife of Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong, just days after rumours emerged about his alleged hospitalisation in the United Kingdom, Dockaysworld reports.
The speculations about his health were trended by former presidential spokesman Jackson Ude.
In a post on his X handle, Ude alleged that Akpabio was receiving treatment for an undisclosed illness at a London hospital.
Quoting multiple unnamed sources, Ude said the Senate President was returning from Geneva, where he had attended a parliamentary engagement, when he made an unscheduled detour to London for what was described as a medical emergency.
“Senate President Godswill Akpabio is receiving treatment in a London hospital in what sources described as an emergency medical situation,” Ude wrote. “Akpabio was on his way back from Geneva, where he had attended a Parliamentary event, but had to make a detour to London for a medical emergency, multiple sources within his office and outside his office confirmed.”
