Kenny Okolugbo, the Consultant on Communications and Strategy to Godswill Akpabio, has addressed rumours surrounding the Senate President’s health, saying he is healthy.

Okolugbo, who dismissed rumours of Akapbio’s ill health while appearing on Channels Television’s programme Morning Brief on Thursday, called the social media reports baseless.

He added that Akpabio has been active in the dispensation of his duties.

“The Senate President is very healthy. You saw him; he’s been attending sessions, and that answers the question,” Okolugbo stated.

Speaking further, he referenced a similar case involving the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike, who reports claimed incapacitated but appeared the following day.

“Even Minister Wike was affected by similar rumours. One day they said he was in a coma or had suffered a stroke, and the next day he was commissioning projects and appeared on a live programme.”

“We must regulate social media. Everybody’s a publisher online, but they don’t seem to understand that the law prohibits sharing information you are not sure of,” Okolugbo said. (SUN)
