Yesterday February 12th, the Ibom Multi Specialist Hospital received
a special guest in person of the Senate Minority leader, Godswill Akpabio and former
governor of Akwa Ibom as he came for medical check-up. The Ibom Multi
Specialist Hospital was built by him during his tenor as the governor of the
state. Some say this is the first time he's making use of the hospital
Akpabio was criticized 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'.

Speaking to newsmen after his routine check-up,
Akpabio said
"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 check-up here, and with the quality of medical personnel
here, our people and visitors are surly saved. Let others talk about it, not
me. I am just here like many others, for medical check-up. What I know is that
this is the best Hospital in Africa" he said
