Abia North Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu has dismissed reports of his rumoured death during his long vacation outside Nigeria.
Kalu said he took permission from Senate President Godswill Akpabio to study.
Addressing a press briefing at the National Assembly on Tuesday, the lawmaker said he attended some courses for two months.
According to the former Abia State governor, “Listen, there was nothing wrong with me. I took permission from the senate president about seven days before the senate closed I went for a little study in one of the universities that I paid for myself not that anyone paid for me.
“I went to do some courses for two months so I used the holiday period to do courses on democracy and the economy.
“I did not die. I didn’t go for any medical check-up, but if people say I have died, we give thanks to God.”
