LunagisthubSetting the Record Straight: Senate President’s Health
In a recent turn of events, the office of Senate President Godswill Akpabio has come out to deny circulating rumors about his health. These claims, which spread like wildfire on social media, were described as “baseless and unfounded” by Kenny Okolugbo, Akpabio’s consultant on communications and strategy .
Okolugbo emphasized that the Senate President is in good health and actively attending to his official duties. He cited Akpabio’s recent appearances at Senate sessions as proof of his well-being. Okolugbo also drew parallels with similar false claims about Minister Nyesom Wike, who was reportedly said to be incapacitated but appeared the next day, commissioning projects and participating in live programs.
The aide called for stronger regulation of social media to curb the spread of misinformation. “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 warned .
It’s essential to verify information before sharing it on social media to avoid spreading false rumors. The Senate President’s office has assured the public that Akpabio is in good health and fully committed to his duties .
