WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Mrs Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has accused the Senate President, Mr Godswill Akpabio, of s3xually harassing her, claiming her refusal to play ball with him led to constant victimisation at the parliament. She made this allegation while speaking in an interview with Arise TV on Friday morning, saying this started in December 2023. According to her, during a visit to Mr Akpabio’s residence in Akwa Ibom State with her husband and other senators for his birthday celebration, the Senate President held her hand while showing her around his home, made inappropriate advances towards her. While recounting her ordeal with the former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, she said, “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, then he held my hands, walking around from room to room, he showed me the beautiful interiors. “He got to this particular sitting room and asked me if I liked his house. I said of course, Sir, every room is beautiful, beautiful taste, and he said, now that you are a senator, I am going to create time for us to come create quality moments here. You will enjoy it. At that point, I just pulled away because I didn’t understand what he meant.” She claimed that because she refused the romantic relationship, the former Minister began to torment her, leading to an outburst at the plenary last Thursday. Recall that last Thursday, Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan’s seat was changed and after she attempted to challenge this, Mr Akpabio ordered the sergeants-at-arms to evict her from the chamber and prepare her immediate suspension from the Senate.
