Senate President Godswill Akpabio has returned to Nigeria after what his media office described as a short vacation in London.

Upon his return, Akpabio dismissed the social media reports that he was critically ill and hospitalised abroad.

The Senate President, who arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at about 4:00 am on Monday, was received at the presidential wing by senators, aides, and supporters.

Speaking with journalists, the Akpabio described the speculation about his health as the imagination of the purveyors.

While dismissing the speculation, the Senate President said there is noting like that stressing that he is fit like fiddle.

Akpabio admitted he only stopped over in London for a short vacation.

The Senate President had attended the sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament in Geneva, Switzerland, from July 29 to 31, before proceeding to the United Kingdom.

He explained that the Nigerian delegation played a key role at the Geneva conference in advocating for stronger democratic governance and improved synergy between arms of government.

Akpabio assured Nigerians of active parliamentary activity when the National Assembly reconvenes.
