The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State has firmly rejected what it described as malicious and unfounded rumors circulating about the health of Nigeria’s Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. In a clear and confident statement, the party denounced the speculation that Akpabio is critically ill or near death, calling such claims entirely baseless and damaging.
According to local party leaders, the Senate President remains in good health and continues to perform his duties with the commitment and energy expected of someone in his esteemed office. They emphasized that Akpabio has not shown any signs of illness that would justify the alarming rumors currently making rounds across some media and social platforms.
The Akwa Ibom APC leadership described the rumors as part of a calculated campaign by political opponents seeking to distract the public and destabilize the focus of the Senate. “These are orchestrated attempts to tarnish the image of a man who has continued to lead with integrity and resilience,” a party representative said.
Additionally, the party called on the public and the media to exercise responsibility when sharing or reporting information, especially concerning national figures whose reputation and stability are crucial to governance and national unity.
Party officials encouraged Nigerians to ignore the false claims and to support their leaders with truth and constructive engagement, not misinformation and political sabotage.
Conclusion
In an age of rapid information dissemination, rumors can spread faster than truth. The Akwa Ibom APC’s strong rebuttal serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying facts before forming opinions or spreading narratives. Senator Godswill Akpabio, as reaffirmed by his party, remains healthy and active in service to the nation, and Nigerians are urged to focus on progress rather than propaganda.
