Ekaette Akpabio, the wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, has dismissed sexual harassment allegations made against her husband by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

During an interview with Arise TV, Senator Natasha claimed that Akpabio made unwanted advances toward her. She further alleged that her motions in the Senate were sidelined because she refused to accept his advances.

However, speaking to reporters at her residence in Abuja, Mrs. Akpabio denied these claims. She said her family and Natasha’s have a good relationship, which makes her wonder why Natasha’s husband did not react when the alleged incident happened.

‘’It is an unfortunate accusation. It is very demeaning because that is a family..we knew the husband before he married her, We have always known the man. They are still very good friends. I really don’t understand where this is coming from and I believe for somebody to make such an allegation, here must be a discussioon at home, a sanction or an approval and if the approval has come from the husband, our friend, I believe he would have spoken to me because when we are close. And if the wife had complained about such a thing and he still comes and he acts normal…..there is no man the wife will tell ‘’Oh, your friend harassed me’ that will not frown. First of all, the attitude towards the person will change but his attitude never changed”

Mrs. Akpabio described her husband as a responsible and disciplined man who loves and respects his family. She also highlighted his efforts in supporting women in government long before he became Senate President.

‘’The Senate President is a very very responsible man and disciplined.”
