The President prays that the Almighty God will bless Sen. Akpabio and his family with longer life, good health and prosperity.
The President’s message aligns with numerous goodwill messages from friends, associates, community groups and political allies who believe in the candor of the former Minister and former Governor of Akwa Ibom State.
