FORMER GOVERNOR AKPABIO'S CREDIT CARDS FAIL IN LONDON.

Former Governor, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom
State, was Thursday, denied access to check into a
luxury five-star hotel, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, in the
Knightsbridge area of London, after his credit card was
declined.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senator, who recently
survived a car crash after his bullet proof G-Wagon
Mercedes Benz collided with an American Embassy
diplomatic vehicle in Abuja on August 31, is currently
in the UK to receive medical treatment.
According to SaharaReporters, at the reception of
Mandarin Hotel, the ex-governor who wore a blue
sports jacket was visibly embarrassed after being told
that his credit card had been denied. Two unidentified
persons were with the former governor at the reception
desk as he looked baffled over the credit card jam.
At this point, Akpabio was heard ordering an official at
an Eco Bank in Lagos to resolve the problem. He
persistently asked why his card was not working. He,
however, reportedly remained at the reception for a
while. He was later checked in.
Akpabio allegedly admitted that his card was declined
because he had used the card to check out of the hotel
earlier in the day. He stated that his credit card had
maxed out of its daily spending limit.
