flying abroad to get medical treatment on injuries he sustained in car
accident, said President Buhari actually reached out to him by
telephone.

extraordinary. The President called the hospital that I was in London.
He called the hospital line, and said put me through to the Minority
Leader of the Senate who is in your hospital. And they connected him.
The room number was Room 215. And he spoke with me.
He said, Akpabio we are praying for you. Insha Allah,
it shall be well with you.” Akpabio said at a programme to celebrate
the 28th anniversary of the state.
He also narrated talked about the accident
“When that accident happened, I was rushing in the morning to join my
daughter who was ill in her school abroad and when it happened I lost
consciousness and all I shouted was God take care of my children and my
people,”he said
