Senate President Godswill Akpabio on Monday dismissed reports that he had been critically ill and hospitalised in London, insisting he only took a brief vacation.
Akpabio, who returned to Nigeria through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, around 4:00 a.m., was received at the presidential wing by senators, aides, and supporters.
Before his vacation, the Senate President attended the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva, Switzerland, held from July 29 to 31, 2025.
Speaking to journalists on arrival, Akpabio said he was in good health and prepared for the Senate’s resumption.
“There’s nothing like such. I’m fit as a fiddle. I only stopped over in London for a short vacation,” he said.
He assured Nigerians of stronger parliamentary engagements when the National Assembly reconvenes.
