Akpabio Denies Slumping After Birthday Colloquium

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has denied reports of his alleged collapse and being hospitalised after his birthday colloquium In Abuja.

Gatekeepers News reports that Akpabio’s Special Adviser on media and publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, said it was disconcerting that some people celebrated the “fiction”.

“It was especially disconcerting that the conjectures on the wellbeing of the senate president came after he was celebrated by the crème-de-crème of the nation’s leadership across all sectors at the Colloquium that was focused on defining a legislative agenda for national development,” Eyiboh said.

“Senator Akpabio spoke on his feet for more than 30 minutes as he exposed his trajectory in a way as never before.

“As the programme ended and President Bola Tinubu left the Transcorp Hotel venue, Senator Akpabio’s expression to some of those around him that he was tired escalated to a fainting spell or collapse.

“Some more adventurous purveyors of untruth in their thrilling escapade of fiction even claimed that he is presently hospitalized and in a critical condition in the National Hospital, Abuja.

“This is wholly untrue and I declare firmly that besides saying he was exhausted in the hearing of those around him, he was certainly not rushed in a stretcher to the national hospital or indisposed.”
