Natasha Accuses Akpabio of Making Sexual Advances to Her

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Friday accused the Senate President Godswill Akpabio of making sexual advances at her.

She alleged that most of the intimate love calls from Akpabio comes in the dead of the night and that she usually wakes her husband and put the conversations on speaker.

Natasha alleged that it was her refusal to yield to the sexual advances from Akpabio that is behind the hatred and antagonism against her.

The Kogi Central Senator made the allegation when she appeared on the Morning Show aired by the Arise News Channel in Abuja.

She maintained that her refusal to yield to consistent sexual advances from the Senate President both within and outside the country, was the cause of her victimisation in the Senate.

On the sitting arrangement saga, Akpoti-Uduaghan admitted that the Order 10 of the Senate Rules stipulates that a senator must speak from his or her seat but that when it comes to the issue of privileges, senators can speak from anywhere.

Asked why her other three female senators were not forthcoming to speak against her ordeal, Natasha said their reasons were best known to them.

She however, said the Senator representing FCT, Ireti Kingibe, called to condemn her for instituting defamatory suit against the Senate President.

On the night club comments of the Senate President, Akpoti-Uduaghan said, it was not a slip of tongue because the Senate President had allegedly once suggested to her that he could organise a party in form of a night club where they could have fun.

She likened her predicament in the hands of the Senate President to a young female student who refused sexual advances from her lecturer but vowed to maintain her integrity in the midst of any form of victimisation.

She also denied allegations of corruption contained in a petition by a northern youth group to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, Public Petitions and Code of Conduct.

Akpoti-Uduaghan alleged the petition was sponsored by those who wanted her to be sharing funds meant for Committee works to them.

She further alleged that the Senate leadership had once warned her to stop her constant confrontation with the Senate President because if Akpabio goes down, she would also go down with him.

She said, “It all started on the 18th of December 2023, which was a day before his birthday and my birthday, we are birthday mates. We were all in Akwa Ibom because he had a big fanfare in the stadium.

“Myself, my husband and a few of his close friends, we went to Akwa Ibom and at first we were at Ikot Ekpene, where his house is then we all moved to his house in Uyo. It was about 8pm and he held my hand and said he wanted to show me around his house.

“My husband was walking behind us. Just three of us. We were walking around from room to room. He showed me the beautiful interior.

“He noticed that he has to be spaced while still holding my hand. My husband was behind still on his phone, but he was watching up whenever he could and then he got to this particular sitting room and he said, do you like my house?

“I said, of course, sir. Every room, beautiful, nice interior, quality taste. He said, now that you’re a senator, I’m going to create time for us to come spend quality moments here. You will enjoy it.

“At that point, I just pulled away and I was like, ‘I don’t really understand what exactly that meant.’ But then my husband when I turned around was already near me, and the way my husband looked at me and looked at him, I was beginning to wonder, did he hear part of that inciting statements or not?

“And then the Senate President too, I saw that he also had that thought like, did my husband hear the invitation to treat or not?

“So then the Senate President now said, oh, by the way, let me show you my chapel. He has a chapel in his house as well.

“So to the chapel. I know we walked in silence and all. So that evening before we left the Senate President’s house at about 11 midnight to the Four Point Hotel, my husband asked me, Natasha, what did the Senate President tell you. What was he telling you?

“I thought, should I tell him that he was speaking about bringing me in here at a special time for us to have a good time? Or should I just kill it there?

“I just gave him some words to mask what was said. After when we laid in bed to my right and my husband wrapped his hands around me and he said, my love you know you can tell me anything.

“What did the Senate President tell you? Again I was like don’t you believe me?

“I said nothing, nothing. Moreover it’s my birthday in a few minutes, let’s just be happy.”

Why she no talk all this one since... Yeye woman

sagitariusbaby:
Na your mama be yeye woman. That is Nigeria's best senator you are talking about, you must put some respect in her name. Nonsense!

mikkyangel3:
From Joy Nuneh who had to slap Akpabio because he wanted to sleep with her, now to senator Natasha.

Anything they say Akpabio did, that man did that shit.

Akwa Ibom men are never beating that stereotype of being braindead, uber-randy nincompoops.

And Akpabio is the archetype.

Esosaaa:
Accusations without proof everytime

MadamExcellency:
When you present yourself as someone available, men will price your commodity.

Adult's business, No receipt. He priced and you didn't sell.

My issue with Akpabio started on 8th of December, 2023. When myself and my husband visited Akwa Ibom for Senator Akpabio’s birthday. Akpabio was showing me around his house and was holding my hands with my husband following behind us when he said, he wants me to come and be spending special moments in his house. My husband heard him and later told me not to travel abroad alone or be with the Senate President alone — Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Arise TV Morning Show today

Maxymilliano:
This is a joke taken too far

IgOga:
Lol

I don't want to hear another Lambo story o

A man wanting to bed you is not an excuse for being rude and unruly in the senate chamber.

Wallade:


Shut up, you seem to think with your anus. What brought his mama into the matter.

Who made Natasha the best senator? What organization awarded her the best senator?

Natasha deserves no respect with the way and manner she has conducted herself. She is so annoying and I can't believe she is making such allegation.

What nonsense and ridiculous thoughts from her.
