former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, was on Tuesday afternoon flown out of Nigeria to receive medical attention abroad. It was learnt that the senator, in company with about five of his aides, left the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja aboard a regular private jet that he usually travels with.

Sources at the airport said that Akpabio and his team arrived at the General Aviation Terminal, local wing, of the airport around 12.40pm.

It was learnt that the former governor was conveyed to his aircraft by a tarmac bus and was fit physically when sighted at the airport.

An official of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, who saw the senator while he was about to board his aircraft, said, “He (Akpabio) was at the GAT local wing of the airport and one of the tarmac buses was used to convey him to his aircraft. He left around 20 minutes to 1pm.

“The flight conveying him on the trip taxied to the international terminal from where it took off.

The former governor travelled with his own private flight and had about five persons who accompanied him on the trip. He looked physically okay, although some of the men with him said he might receive medical attention abroad due to the car crash he was involved in on Monday.”

But, I thought we have well equipped hospitals in Nigeria??


It's quite unfortunate that we have personified thieves as politicians in Nigeria

Fear of death. Naija self acclaimed politician always running abroad for medical attention while turn blind to our local hospital. God will judge you all.

Yeye animals!What a zoo

Dis source tho

I smell lies here o. OP when you turn to source.
Akpabio was released from a hospital in abj o.

Polithieficians everywhere

Why was he not taken to the state of the art modern hospital he built during his administration as the governor of his state.VIP indeed.

He is capable of building world class stadium and could not build a befitting hospital. They should treat him in that stadium. My verdict
