Read Time:2 Minute, 3 Second
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has called on Mrs. Unoma Akpabio, wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, to refrain from involving herself in the ongoing sexual harassment and intimidation allegations against her husband.
The dispute between the two parties has escalated in recent days, drawing national attention.
The conflict began when Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan refused to sit in a designated seat during a Senate session, citing Order 10 of the Senate Standing Rules.
Tensions heightened after she appeared on Arise News last Friday, accusing Senate President Akpabio of blocking her motions, maligning her character, and intimidating her following her alleged rejection of his sexual advances.
In response, Mrs. Akpabio held a press conference in Abuja, dismissing the allegations as baseless. She emphasized the long-standing cordial relationship between their families, which predated Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s marriage.
However, in a letter dated March 1, 2025, addressed to Mrs. Akpabio through her lawyer, Victor Giwa, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan urged her to stay out of the matter.
The letter, titled ‘Stay Away from Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Sexual Harassment and Intimidation Allegation Against Sen. President Godswill Akpabio; To Safeguard Your Sanity and That of Your Family,’ stressed that the allegations were personal to the Senate President and that he should be left to defend himself.
Akpoti-Uduaghan stated that she had endured harassment from Akpabio but was now compelled to speak out.
The letter read in part, “Our Client is not desirous of calling you out into the unfortunate saga concerning her allegations against the Senate President, and wishes that you restrain yourself from delving into the obscene circumstances. While she has tolerated all the harassment from the Senate President, she was constrained to reveal the unfortunate torture and victimization which she has been going through in the red chambers under the hand of the Senate President.”
The Senator further asserted that she had concrete evidence to substantiate her claims and urged Mrs. Akpabio to allow her husband to address the allegations independently.
“Our client has concrete evidence to substantiate her allegations. We will suggest that you leave the defense of the allegations for the Senate President to maintain your sanity and that of your family,” the letter added.
Akpoti-Uduaghan reaffirmed her commitment to defending Nigerian women and upholding family values,
“Our client remains resolute in the defense of Nigerian women and as a family woman, she will continue to maintain our common heritage and family values,” she stated.
