Multiple reports indicate, the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, is currently receiving treatment in London after he was flown out for a medical emergency.

According to a source who spoke to SaharaReporters, Akpabio collapsed on the 10th day of the month and was rushed out by a private jet provided by billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote.

According to the online portal, the sickness is serious enough to warrant continued overseas medical care.

A source disclosed that “this is the second time he is being rushed to London for treatment,” raising fresh concerns about his health and capacity to continue leading the upper legislative chamber.

His illness has kept the Senate President away from official duties, including the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) and Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP) interactive session held on Wednesday.

Multiple senators are said to have travelled to London to check on him. One of the sources said, “A number of senators have gone to visit me,” in reference to Akpabio’s hospitalisation abroad.

The sources further revealed that medical experts attending to the Senate President have reportedly advised him to reduce his workload.

According to one of the briefings received by SaharaReporters, “Doctors are advising him to step down from the Senate to attend to his health.”
