Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, has asserted that she possesses solid evidence to support her allegation of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Speaking through her lawyer, Victor Giwa (Esq), Natasha made this statement in response to remarks by Akpabio’s wife, Unoma.
During a press briefing on Friday, Unoma Akpabio described her husband as a disciplined man and hinted at the possibility of legal action against Natasha.

In reaction, Giwa advised Mrs. Akpabio to allow her husband to address the allegations himself, emphasizing that doing so would help maintain her peace of mind and that of her family.
He further highlighted that Natasha is a recognized advocate for human and women’s rights in Nigeria, dedicated to defending and protecting the rights of women.
“While she has tolerated all the harassment from the senate president, she was constrained to reveal the unfortunate torture and victimisation which she has been going through in the red chambers under the hand of the senate president.
“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 remains resolute to the defence of Nigerian women and as a family woman, she will continue to maintain our common heritage and family values.”
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has filed a defamation lawsuit against Senate President Godswill Akpabio and his aide, Mfon Patrick, demanding N100.3 billion in damages. The suit follows the controversy surrounding the alteration of her seating arrangement in the Senate chambers.
The Kogi Central lawmaker, who is currently suspended and under review by the Senate Ethics Committee, alleged in a television interview that Akpabio declined to consider her motion on the Ajaokuta Steel Complex because she rejected his sexual advances.
