The immediate past Governor of Akwa Ibom State and Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio has been flown out of Nigeria to receive medical attention abroad after he was involved in an auto-accident on Monday August 31.

According to Punch, the 52-year-old Senator and five of his aides, reportedly left the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja aboard a regular private jet on Tuesday, September 1.

An official of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, who saw the senator while he was about to board his aircraft, said, ''He (Akpabio) was at the GAT local wing of the airport and one of the tarmac buses was used to convey him to his aircraft. He left around 20 minutes to 1pm.
