Amazingly, of all people and things, Godswill Akpabio, a former Governor to the State of Akwa Ibom, who is now the Senate Minority Leader while in a convoy, his jeep reportedly ran the traffic light, hitting the vehicle of some US embassy officials of President Barack Obama; who according to President Muhammadu Buhari, played a significant part in ushering in a new change in Nigeria in terms of law and order.
Reports from the media showed that the accident happened in the early morning of the day as Akpabio was heading to the international airport for London with his convoy’s lights in full display and sirens blowing; as if he was in an authorized emergency vehicle as it relates to life and death matters.
Senator Godswill Akpabio, is the immediate past Governor of Akwa Ibom State.
This incident revealed that Akpabio has yet to liberate himself from the disease of traffic lawlessness which was so pervasive during the days of the Jonathan presidency, when the madness of blaring sirens indiscriminately by political and privileged leaders was all too common to the detriment of public peace and smooth flow of traffic.
