Senate President Godswill Akpiabio has reacted to reports that he collopsed at his 61st birthday colloquium in Abuja on Thursday, December 14.
CelebrityWatch Magazine had earlier reported that Akpabio slumped while seeing President Bola Tinubu off and was rushed to the hospital.
However, speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Akpabio said: “I have been reading on the social media the propaganda about my collopse, but I’m happy the senate press corps did not join in the show of propaganda.
I went home and I called my doctors and I was told that I had a bit of malaria, mingled with stress.
The stress could also be described in another way as exhaustion, infact anybody could be exhausted, please drink water daily so that you don’t get exhausted.
I want to assure Nigerians that the National Assembly is intact and we are still going on with our duty on the appropriation bill.
We will resume on December 20, but before then, the various committees must have finished their works to enable us meet the target to pass the budget before the end of the year for the president to append his signature.”
