Akpabio's Aide Denies Collapse Reports in London, Calls Them Fake News
The article refutes claims that Nigerian Senator Akpabio collapsed and was hospitalized in London, labeling the reports as fake news. Akpabio's aide, Kenny Okolugbo, clarified that the Senator is not in need of urgent medical attention.
This denial comes after Sahara Reporters alleged that Akpabio collapsed on December 10 and was flown to London on a private jet provided by business magnate Aliko Dangote. Akpabio's absence from official duties, including a key legislative engagement on Nigeria's fiscal strategy, has raised fresh concerns about his health and leadership capabilities.
Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi stood in for Akpabio during the session. No official statement has been issued by the Senate leadership regarding the matter.
