President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, returned to Nigeria on Monday morning after a brief vacation in London, effectively quashing rumours about his health condition.
Reports had circulated suggesting the Senate President was critically ill and hospitalised in London. However, his arrival at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, around 4:00 a.m., where he was warmly received at the Presidential Wing by senators, aides, and supporters, put such speculation to rest.
Akpabio had earlier attended the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva from July 29 to 31, before proceeding to London for a short vacation.

He also defended Nigeria’s strong delegation to the International Parliamentary Union in Geneva, describing it as a strategic move to strengthen democratic governance and foster deeper collaboration with other arms of government.
