The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has broken his silence on the sexual harassment allegation leveled against him by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District.
“I would like to state clearly that at no time did I ever attempt any sexual harassment on the said Distinguished Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan or any other woman for that matter.
“I and my siblings were raised very well by my late single mother, she died in the year 2000, through a very difficult time,” the senator said at plenary on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Akpoti-Uduaghan has tendered a sexual harassment petition against Akpabio on the floor of the upper legislative chamber under order 40 of the senate rules.
This came shortly after Akpabio delivered his speech on her allegations against him.
