Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (PDP, Kogi Central) has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment.
The lawmaker who has dominated the headlines over her brawl with the senate president said this on ARISE TV, on Friday.
It has been reported how 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 a N100.3 billion fundamental human rights suit against Akpabio.
In her interview on Friday, the lawmaker said she had evidence against Akpabio, stating that her husband is also a witness.
Rewind:
My issue with Akpabio started on 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 wants me to come and be spending 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 — Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Arise TV Morning Show
