There may be more to the altercation between the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, than meets the eye

This is as Akpoti-Uguaghan alleged that Akpabio blocked her motions from being heard on the floor of the Senate because she rejected his advances.

Akpoti-Uduaghan made the allegation during an interview with Arise Television on Friday.

The Kogi lawmaker added that by rejecting Apkabio’s sexual advances, she was subjected to persistent harassment and malignment in his home in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital, and his office.

She said, “My issue with Akpabio started on the 8th of December, 2023. We went to his house at Ikot-Ekpene, and he held my hand and said he wanted to show me around his house. Just the three of us, my husband and him. I noticed he hastened his pace while still holding my hand, and he got to this particular sitting room.

“He asked ‘do you like my house?’ and I replied ‘of course yes,’ and he said, ‘now that you are a Senator, you are going to create time for us to spend quality time here and you will enjoy it.’

“Later, on the floor of the Senate, I was also told by Senators to approach him to move a motion concerning the Ajaokuta Steel, and he then told me that ‘Natasha, I am the Chief Presiding officer of the Senate. You can enjoy a whole lot if you take care of me and make me happy.’ At that point, I told him that I would pretend I didn’t hear that.

“My case is a case of a student being punished by a lecturer for refusing to sleep with him.”
