The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Navy, Senator Gbenga Daniel, has debunked a media report alleging that Senate President Godswill Akpabio was hospitalized in London.
Senator Daniel, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), disclosed that he had a stopover in London to inform Akpabio of his planned return to Nigeria for the August 16th bye-election in Ogun State.
During the visit, Daniel addressed the rumors, stating: “I am here to formally inform you, Mr Senate President, that I will be returning to Nigeria to partake in the August 16th bye-elections… Your Excellency, the news out there is that you have been indisposed, but seeing you here now paints a very different picture. Congratulations, Your Excellency.”

In a statement by Akpabio’s Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, the Senate President thanked Daniel and expressed confidence that the APC would win the bye-election, adding: “With the commitments and support of Governor Dapo Abiodun, your good self and other stakeholders of our party in the state, we will retain the House of Representatives seat at the end of the election.”
He also told Daniel: “Let me congratulate you in advance, because you have all it takes to retain that Federal Constituency seat for our great party. You are from there and interestingly, the Governor is also from there, so I don’t harbour any fear.”
Akpabio also dismissed the reports about his health, stating: “If you listen to the social media, you will go to war.”
