Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio has reacted to the allegation of sexual harassment brought against him by the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uguaghan.
Recall that during an interview on Arise Television today, Friday, February 28, Akpoti-Uguaghan had alleged that her trouble with Akpabio started after she turned down his sexual advances.
She added that her case was like that of a student being punished by a lecturer for refusing to sleep with him.
Also, Akpoti-Uguaghan said that the sexual advances were made when she and her husband visited Akpabio’s home in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, for the senate president’s birthday celebration in December 2023.
Reacting to the allegation in an interview, the media consultant to the Senate President, Kenny Okulogbo, described Akpoti-Uguaghan’s position as tissues of lies.
Okulogbo stated that the Kogi lawmaker is angry because she was removed as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Content.
He said, “All that Senator Natasha said are all tissues of lies. She is just angry because she was removed as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Content.
“The Senate President will respond. We will make an official statement soon,” Okulogbo said.
This comes after a February 20 face-off between Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan on the floor of the upper legislative chamber over a change in seating arrangements.
The disagreement began when Akpoti-Uduaghan’s seat was reassigned at the start of plenary. However, she refused to comply with the relocation.
