I pray For God's Intervention:

State has
been involved in road accident this
afternoon. Reports available to Elombah.com says the Senate minority leader has
been
rushed to hospital
Eye witnesses say Akabio's car was
involved
in an accident along the Airport Road in
Abuja near the Bolingo Junction close
to the
Ship House.
The former Akawa Ibom governor
was moving in a convoy of vehicles
towards the
City Gate when his vehicle ran into
another
car.
He has been admitted at the National hospital
UPDATE
Premium Times is reporting that
Akpabio
hospitalised after own car disobeyed
traffic light, then crashed.
The only newspaper in their report
sair
Senate Minority Leader and former
Governor
of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio,
escaped death Monday morning after
his car
got involved in an accident along
Airport
Road in Abuja. PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the accident
occurred near the Bolingo Junction
close to
the Ship House, Abuja.
A witness said Mr. Akpabio was
moving in a convoy of vehicles towards the City
Gate
when his vehicle ran into another car.
“My wife and I were coming from the
NNPC
Mega Station and we stopped at the traffic
light by Bolingo Hotel Junction. When
the
green light showed and we made to
move,
there was this siren blaring Mercedes Benz
jeep that came from the town and
almost
crashed onto my car. I don’t know
how we
dodged but another that was behind the jeep
hit the car behind me and tumbled on
its
side.
“I and my wife rushed out of our
vehicle and helped the driver bring out his boss.
When
we brought him out, we found that it
was
former governor Godswill Akpabio.
“At the time we brought him out, the siren
was still blaring. We put him in the
other
vehicle and he was rushed to the
National
Hospital.” The witness said Mr. Akpabio was
badly
shaken and was in a traumatic
condition
when he was brought out of the
crashed vehicle. He said the former governor
was
apparently rushing out of the city
when his
convoy beat the traffic and crashed.
When PREMIUM TIMES arrived at the National Hospital two hours after Mr.
Akpabio was admitted at the hospital,
a
security official said the former
governor
was at the National Trauma Center. The
source however noted that Mr.
Akpabio was
later moved to a private section of the
hospital for X-ray and other
investigations. At about 10am, PREMIUM TIMES met
with
the driver to the former governor,
simply
called David who confirmed the
accident. Mr. David said his boss was in stable condition but declined to say
how the
accident happened. He wore a black
jeans
trouser with a white striped shirt.
When contacted on the telephone, the Chief
Medical Director of the hospital, J.
Momoh,
said he could not speak on Mr.
Akpabio’s
case because he has no authorisation from
the family.
Mr. Momoh, who argued that it is
against
medical ethics to speak about a patient
in admission, did not however deny that
Mr.
Akpabio was being admitted in the
facility.
“I cannot speak about a patient in
admission without getting approval from his
family. You
should therefore excuse me,” Mr.
Momoh
said. When reminded that Mr. Akpabio
is a public official and Nigerian Senate
Majority
Leader and not a quiet family man, Mr.
Momoh still insisted he cannot speak
on the
matter. At about 12.25p.m. Mr. Akpabio’s
predecessor, Governor, Udom
Emmanuel,
arrived in a three-vehicle convoy, led
by a
Toyota Jeep, with registration number, Yab
474 BG. Mr. Udom was driven in a BMW
salon car with the number plates
covered. |

We all know what happened. We all know who was in the siren jeep. The answer begins with A and ends with C. It's chief has initials that start with P and ends with B. The assassination attempts have begun. "OPERATION LOCK DOWN NIGERIA" has commenced. |
