Sexual Harassment: Natasha Asks Akpabio’s Wife To Stay Off
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has asked the wife of the Senate President, Mrs Ekaette Akpabio, to stay off the fray arising from allegations of sexual harassment against her husband.
The female lawmaker has accused Senator Godswill Akpabio of making sexual advances towards her at different times in his office and his Akwa Ibom residence.
Natasha was reacting to a defamation suit filed against her by Mrs Akpabio challenging her allegations against her husband.
Akpabio’s wife has accused Natasha of concocting lies against her husband, whom she described as “a disciplined man.”
In a letter dated March 1, 2025, addressed to Akpabio’s wife, the Kogi senator, through her lawyer, Victor Giwa, stated that she is not desirous of involving Mrs Akpabio in the unfortunate saga.
The Kogi senator urged Mrs Akpabio to consider her sanity and allow her to defend himself against the allegations.
The letter reads, “Our client is not desirous of calling you out on 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.
“Consequently, we would like to state that the allegations of our client are personal to the Senate President, and our client believes the Senate President has the capacity to defend himself and refute any of these allegations against him.
“Our client has concrete evidence to support 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.”
