Godswill Akpabio’s Health Is Not In Question – Aide

Godswill Akpabio

Consultant on Communications and Strategy to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Kenny Okolugbo, has dismissed recent reports circulating on social media about the Senate President’s health. He recently had his say while speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s programme Morning Brief, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the Senate President is healthy and actively attending to his official duties, so the reports are completely baseless and unfounded.

He added that similar false claims were made about the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, before he appeared the next day, commissioning projects and participating in live programmes.

His words, “The Senate President is very healthy. You saw him; he’s been attending sessions, and that answers the question.

Even Minister Wike was affected by similar rumours. One day they said he was in a coma or had suffered a stroke, and the next day he was commissioning projects and appeared on a live programme.

We must regulate social media. Everybody’s a publisher online, but they don’t seem to understand that the law prohibits sharing information you are not sure of.”

WOW.
