The political battle between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan took another twist on Friday as the Kogi Central Senator accused her Akwa Ibom counterpart of sexual harassment.
Speaking in an interview with Arise Television, Akpoti-Uduaghan revealed that her issues with Akpabio began on December 8, 2023, when she visited him alongside her husband at his residence in Akwa Ibom.
She claimed that the Senate President had asked her to visit him “from time to time to spend time with him” after showing her a room in his residence.
“It all started the day before his birthday and my birthday because we are birthday mates. We were all in Akwa Ibom. At first, we were in his house at Ikot Ekpene. Then we all went to his house in Uyo. He held my hand, walking around from room to room, showing me the beautiful interiors.
“He got to a particular sitting room and asked me if I liked his house. I said, ‘Of course, Sir, every room is beautiful—quality taste.’ He said, ‘Now you are a senator, I am going to create time for us to come and create quality moments here. You will enjoy it.’ At that point, I pulled away because I didn’t understand what he meant.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan also accused Akpabio of deliberately refusing to allow her to move her motion in the Senate because she resisted his alleged sexual advances. She alleged that when she confronted Akpabio about it, the Senate President responded:
“Natasha, I am the chief presiding officer. You can enjoy a whole lot if you take care of me and make me happy. The ball is in your court,” Akpoti-Uduaghan claimed Akpabio added.
The allegations have sparked widespread reactions, with calls for a thorough investigation into the matter. Meanwhile, Akpabio has yet to publicly respond to the claims.
