Akpabio denies sexual harassment allegation leveled against him by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has strongly denied allegations of sexual harassment made against him by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

Speaking during the Senate Plenary session on March 5, Akpabio dismissed the claim. He said he had been receiving calls about the matter since February 25 and was aware of the discussions on social media.

In his words;

“At no time did I ever harass any woman. I was raised very well by my late single mother, and I have always upheld respect for women. I was even awarded the most gender-friendly governor in Nigeria.”

The former governor of Akwa Ibom State urged Nigerians, the media, and social media users not to jump to conclusions. He advised everyone to wait for the court’s ruling on the issue.
