‘I will rise again,’ says Akpabio from Hospital bed

Barely six days after he was involved in a car accident
on his way to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International
Airport, Abuja, Senate Minority leader and former
governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill
Akpabio, has broken his silence from his hospital
bed, where he is currently recuperating.


According to government sources, the lawmaker,
who was on Monday, earlier rushed to the National
Hospital, Abuja, for urgent attention, reportedly left
for the United Kingdom aboard a private jet last
Tuesday.

Akpabio who just opened a Twitter account on
Saturday, and have gathered about 495 followers,
tweeted via his handle @SenAkpabio that he was only
down, but not out.

He said: "Though down but not out, I will rise again. I
also thank former President, Goodluck Jonathan,
members of our party, friends and loved ones for
their calls and show of affection. God bless you.

"Thank you Nigerians for your prayers. I appreciate
President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President,
Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President, Bukola
Saraki and others for their calls."

Recall that Akpabio was last Monday involved in a car
accident on his way to the Nnamdi Azikiwe
International Airport, Abuja, to catch up with an
international flight.

He was said to be travelling abroad to visit his wife
and children when the unfortunate incident
happened.

The accident reportedly took place at Bolingo Hotel
junction, in the Central Business District,
Abuja, where his car had collided with a United
States embassy vehicle after beating the traffic.
