Akpabio & Natasha
Senator representing PDP Kogi Central, Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment.
The lawmaker who has dominated the headlines over her spat with the senate president made the claim on ARISE TV, on Friday.
It has been reported that the Kogi Senator had a heated argument with Akpabio after discovering that her seat was changed without her consent.
She was subsequently referred to the Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, for disciplinary review.
Chaired by Senator Neda Imaseun (LP, Edo South), the committee was given two weeks to report back on its findings.
This followed a voice vote after lawmakers revisited the controversy surrounding the issue, with lawmakers underpinning the need to uphold parliamentary rules and decorum.
Akpoti-Uduaghan had filed an N100.3 billion fundamental human rights suit against Akpabio.
In her interview on Arise news on Friday, the lawmaker said she had evidence against Akpabio, stating that her husband is also a witness.
She, however, gave the details of sexual advances from the Senate President towards her on different occasions, which she claimed she turned down such advances.
“My issue with Akpabio started on the 8th of December, 2023. When myself and my husband visited Akwa Ibom for Senator Akpabio’s birthday. Akpabio was showing me around his house and was holding my hands, with my husband following behind us when he said he wanted me to come and spend special moments in his house. My husband heard him and later told me not to travel abroad alone or be with the Senate President alone”.
