Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Warns Ekaette Akpabio to Stay Out of Harassment Allegations Against Senate President
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has issued a strong warning to Ekaette Akpabio, the wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, urging her to stay out of the ongoing harassment allegations against her husband.
Background of the Allegations
In a recent interview on Arise TV, Akpoti-Uduaghan accused the Senate President of making inappropriate advances toward her in his office and Akwa Ibom residence.
In response, Ekaette Akpabio dismissed the claims as false, describing her husband as a disciplined man and proceeding to file defamation and fundamental rights lawsuits against the senator.
Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Open Letter
Reacting to Ekaette Akpabio’s involvement, Akpoti-Uduaghan, through her lawyer Victor Giwa, issued an open letter dated March 1, urging the Senate President’s wife to refrain from interfering in the controversy.
The letter reads 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 she has endured in the Red Chambers.”
Senator’s Stand on the Issue
Akpoti-Uduaghan made it clear that her allegations are personal to the Senate President and that he is capable of defending himself without his wife’s interference.
“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.”
She further advised Ekaette Akpabio to focus on her well-being and avoid getting involved in what she describes as a serious political and legal battle.
What’s Next?
With lawsuits already in motion and Akpoti-Uduaghan standing firm on her claims, the controversy continues to generate heated debates. Will the Senate President respond personally, or will the legal battle escalate?
