Former Akwa Ibom
state governor and now Senate Minority leader, Godswill Akpabio visited the Ibom Multi Specialist Hospital yesterday Feb. 12th, which he built during his
tenure as governor of the state, for medical check up. Some say this is the
first time he's making use of the hospital.
That he only goes there for medical check up, he will fly abroad for treatment when he is sick.

Akpabio was
blasted by Nigerians in September last year when he flew himself abroad for
treatment after he suffered a motor accident in Abuja. People questioned why he
didn't use the hospital which he'd bragged many times was 'world class'...
This what he said when confronted by newsmen...
"The days
of flying outside Nigeria to Europe, America, India and other places of the
world for medical attention are over. Those days are behind us now. Why would
anyone think of flying abroad for medical treatment when the best is at your
doorstep? I have confidence in this hospital that is why I have come to do my
routine checkup here, and with the quality of medical personnel here, our
people and visitors are surely saved. Let others talk about it, not me. I am
just here like many other persons, for medical checkup. What I know is that this is
the best Hospital in Africa," he said.
