  "account": "Senator Godswill Akpabio recounted the harrowing experience of his wife Unoma surviving a six-month coma in a German hospital after a medical complication. The Senator visited St Padre Pio's prayer ground in St Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, to seek divine intervention ahead of the 2027 general elections. Unoma was placed on life support after an operation went wrong, leaving her in a critical condition. Akpabio prayed to Mother Mary and St Padre Pio for her recovery, and she miraculously regained consciousness. The Senator and other Nigerians visiting the site were praying for peace and an end to insecurity caused by banditry and terrorism. Akpabio, who has visited the prayer ground ten times, established a football academy in memory of St Padre Pio and expressed gratitude for his wife's recovery.",
