The immediate past Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, on Sunday,said he was grateful to God for surviving last Monday’s car accident. “I thank God for my survival and remain grateful to Nigerians for their prayers and display of concern,” Akpabio said in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom. The Senate Minority Leader was involved in a car accident last week Monday on his way to the airport to catch an international flight. His car ran into a convoy of some United States’ embassy officials while trying to beat the traffic light. Akpabio, who is presently receiving treatment in a London hospital, also asked politicians to desist from politicising tragedies and disasters but work towards the unity and progress of the country. The lawmaker also disassociated himself from Twitter and Facebook accounts opened in his name, advising those who are doing so to desist from such. He said he never authorised anyone to operate any Facebook or Twitter account on his behalf. The statement partly read, “Senator Akpabio also charged Nigerians, particularly the political class, to desist from politicising disasters and tragedies, but should rather work towards the unity and progress of the country without any political or ethnic colouration. “The former governor specifically thanked President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel, his colleagues in the National Assembly and former President Goodluck Jonathan for their concern and expression of love when the accident occurred. He also thanked members of his family, traditional and religious leaders, who have been calling on a daily basis to inquire about his well being.”

Two lessons your must learn sir..

1. Be law abiding, orderly and decorous in future. It is unstatesmanly to disobey traffic rules by trying to beat a traffic light.

2. Never Never Never commission a non-functional, World-class hospital. After 8years of uncommon transformation in Akwa Ibom, the state still can't boast of a functional hospital that can handle victims of a not too serious accident. You'd have confirmed to the world that you were a good governor had you been admitted in one of the world class hospitals in Akwa Ibom.

In all, we thank God for sparing your life and giving you the opportunity to right some of your wrongs.

God bless us all.

Trying to Beat the traffic light.

Why the rush, where is he heading to, to catch an international flight. If it's a common man that try to do this, they would have roll out the drum beating it so hard but since it's our Governor, nothing dey happen.

Thank God you are getting better sir...

Go and sin no more.

Yeah, thank God you're alive so you can poke more Uniuyo girls and ini edo.
