WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Mrs Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has submitted a petition against the Senate President, Mr Godswill Akpabio. The female lawmaker last Friday publicly accused the former Governor of Akwa Ibom State of making inappropriate advances at her. She also accused him of denying her of her privileges in the Senate because she refused to have romantic relationship with him. At the plenary on Wednesday, Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan, rising on Order 40, asked the Senate to probe the allegations against the number three citizen of the country. After she submitted the petition, the Senate President referred the matter to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions headed by Mr Neda Imasuen. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was earlier billed to appear before the committee today, but she obtained a court order to stop her appearance. Last Thursday, the Kogi lawmaker had an altercation with Mr Akpabio over a sitting arrangement at the upper chamber of the parliament. Trouble started after she was asked to sit on another seat, but she rejected this, arguing that she was not pre-informed of the change in the sitting arrangement.
