Immediate past Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Chief Godswill Akpabio, has been admitted at the National Hospital Abuja after being involved in a motor accident this morning.
His siren-blaring convoy was said to have crashed into other vehicles, with the former governor sustaining injury. The extent of his injury was not disclosed by the doctors at the National Hospital, who claimed that it was the family that had the right to do so.
But Governor Udom Emmanuel has visited his predecessor at the National Trauma Center of the National Hospital.
Also one of the senator’s aide sighted at the National Hospital, said that Akpabio was traveling outside the country to visit his wife and children when the unfortunate incident happened.
At the scene of the accident, Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC officer who craved anonymity, disclosed it took place at around 7:25am near the Bolingo Hotel, just as he said that the occupants of the vehicles in the convoy of the ambassador and Akpabio’s driver did not sustain any injury, but that the senator suffered some injuries in the chest region.
The Junction where the accident occurred are roads from Area 10, near the Ship which houses the Ministry of Defence, the road from the Federal Secretariat and the road to the airport.
The Deputy Minority Whip, Senator Biodun Olujimi, who was also one of the early callers at the hospital, explained that medical personnel at the hospital were taking care of the Senate Minority Whip.
