Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has made shocking allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, accusing him of sexual harassment and intimidation. In an interview on Arise TV, Akpoti-Uduaghan revealed that Akpabio made inappropriate advances towards her during a visit to his home in Akwa Ibom.

The alleged incident occurred in December, when Akpabio supposedly held her hand and suggested spending “quality time” together. Akpoti-Uduaghan claimed she pulled away, unsure of his intentions. She also alleged that Akpabio warned her of consequences if she exposed the incident.

This development comes amid a heated dispute between the two senators, which began with a controversy over Akpoti-Uduaghan’s seat in the Senate chamber. Akpabio had ordered her removal from the chamber, sparking tensions.

Akpoti-Uduaghan’s allegations have sparked concerns about the treatment of female lawmakers in Nigeria’s political space. Rights groups and activists are calling for a thorough investigation into the matter.
