Controversial Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, currently embroiled in a heated political dispute, has made a bold vow to publicly release evidence to support her serious claims of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
During an interview on the Channels Television program, Politics Today, on Thursday, Akpoti-Uduaghan reiterated her allegations and made it clear that she holds substantial proof to back up her accusations. She strongly emphasized that she would present this evidence "at the right time and in the right place."
This statement from Akpoti-Uduaghan comes at a particularly tense moment in the ongoing political saga, which has seen her subjected to a six-month suspension from the Senate. Throughout this period, she has repeatedly claimed that Akpabio has subjected her to political victimization and frustration, especially after she allegedly rejected his romantic advances. The senator has strongly accused Akpabio of using his power to undermine her career and position within the Senate, further intensifying the already complex political landscape surrounding her.
In a related matter, Akpoti-Uduaghan expressed her satisfaction with the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) recent decision to reject a petition seeking her recall from the Senate. Although she acknowledged that the decision was somewhat delayed, she described it as a positive and significant step in the right direction, reinforcing her stance against the political attacks she has faced. Her comments are expected to fuel the ongoing public debate surrounding her suspension and the broader issues within the Senate, as she continues to stand firm in her allegations against Akpabio.
