Natasha vs Akpabio: Wade in to avoid national embarrassment – NANS tells Tinubu
The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has called on President Bola Tinubu to wade into the altercation between the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The students association said Tinubu should intervene before the issue degenerates into an international embarrassment for Nigeria.
NANS made this call in a statement signed by its National Vice President, Akinbodunse Felicia on Saturday, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
Akpoti-Uduaghan, who had a face-off with Akpabio during Senate plenary, had accused the Senate President of sexually harassing her.
Akinbodunse however sued for peace and urged the duo to sheathe their swords in order for peace to reign.
She said that the National Assembly is a key organ of the government which should be occupied by exemplary and forthright representatives of the people.
She argued that if the issue, particularly the allegation of sexual harassment levelled against the Senate President by the female senator, is not properly managed and rested, it would cause international embarrassment for Nigeria.
The NANS leader observed that though Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan has not provided evidence, the matter should be looked into with a view of ascertaining the veracity of her claims.
She, however, noted that the National Assembly should not be bogged down by frivolities, especially now that Nigeria is going through economic and financial stress.
The NANS national vice president said that the student body would keep monitoring the situation, warning, “We will not hesitate to march to the National Assembly, if the face-off is not resolved.”

Atiku’s aide tackles Akpabio’s wife for dismissing Natasha’s sexual harassment allegations
Phrank Shaibu, the Special Adviser on Public Communication to former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has berated the wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Unoma over her remarks regarding the sexual harassment allegations against her husband.
Shaibu described Unoma’s claims dismissing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti’s allegations against her husband as a joke.
Drama started when the Senate changed the sitting arrangement of lawmakers on the floor of the Upper Legislative chambers.
The rearrangement led to an altercation between Natasha and Akpabio, where the former declared that she was not afraid of the Senate President.
On Friday, the lawmaker gave details of how Akpabio made sexual overtures towards her in the presence of her husband.
She claimed that the Senate President invited her to his house so they can have “a good time” which would come with other privileges.
Natasha narrated that her situation could be likened to a student failing examination because she refused to sleep with her lecturer.
The Kogi senator claimed that Akpabio deliberately maligned and victimized her, turning down her motions.
Condemning her claims, Unoma accused Natasha of creating content for her personal gains.
Addressing a press conference, she said Natasha’s husband, Uduaghan should have reached out to her because they are friends.
Reacting via an X post, Shaibu wrote: “So, madam truly believes that High Chief Emmanuel Uduaghan, the revered Alema of Warri Kingdom, should have personally reached out to her to lament that the “Uncommon Transformer” harbored indecent intentions toward his wife?
“That, he didn’t call to say your hubby wanted to f*ck his wife makes the account of @@NatashaAkpoti false? What a joke.”
Meanwhile, Unoma has instituted a legal action against Natasha over her allegations and demanded N250 billion as damages.

Ramadan: Gov Namadi urges generosity, prayers
Jigawa State Governor, Malam Umar Namadi, has called on well-meaning individuals to support those in need and pray for peace and prosperity in the state and across Nigeria during the holy month of Ramadan.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on New Media, Garba Muhammad, and made available to DAILY POST, the governor extended his warmest greetings to the Muslim Ummah as they begin the sacred period of fasting and reflection.
“Ramadan is a month for worship and self-reflection, and it is also a time for kindness and generosity. Let’s take this opportunity to stand together and help those who are in need. Even a small act of giving can result in a big impact on our lives,” he stated.
Governor Namadi reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting the less privileged, highlighting the ongoing statewide Ramadan feeding program.
He further disclosed that all food items for the initiative would be sourced from local markets within each community to boost economic activities and provide income opportunities for traders and farmers.
“I have directed that all food items be purchased from local markets within each community for this initiative. In this way, we will not only feed the needy, but our traders and farmers will also benefit,” the statement read.
The governor also emphasized the need for continued prayers for peace, prosperity, and a better future for Jigawa State and Nigeria as a whole.
“I pray that this Ramadan brings us more blessings, forgiveness, and strength. Let us embrace its spirit and continue praying for a better tomorrow,” he said.
Namadi concluded his message with a heartfelt “Ramadan Mubarak”, wishing all Muslims a peaceful and rewarding fasting period.

PKK declares ceasefire in 40-year conflict with Turkey
The Kurdistan Workers Party, PKK, has declared its intentions for a ceasefire with Turkey.
PKK’s ceasefire is in line with the calls from its imprisoned leader, Abdullah Ocalan for the group to disarm, Aljazeera quoted Kurdish media.
The announcement by the outlawed group, reported by the pro-PKK Firat news agency (ANF) on Saturday, is seen as a major step towards ending a 40-year conflict with the Turkish state.
The PKK executive committee disclosed this in a statement.
According to the statement: “In order to pave the way for the implementation of leader Apo’s call for peace and democratic society, we are declaring a ceasefire effective from today.
“We agree with the content of the call as it is and we say that we will follow and implement it.
“None of our forces will take armed action unless attacked.”
PKK expressed hope that Ankara would release Ocalan, held in near total isolation since 1999, so he can lead a process of disarmament.
It added that the necessary political and democratic conditions need to be established for the process to succeed.
On Thursday, Ocalan made a historic call from prison for the party to lay down its arms, dissolve itself and end its decades-long conflict with the Turkish state.
On Friday, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan welcomed Ocalan’s call, describing it as a “historic opportunity” for peace.
He said Turkey would “keep a close watch” to make sure the talks to end the insurgency were “brought to a successful conclusion”.
“When the pressure of terrorism and arms is eliminated, the space for politics in democracy will naturally expand,” Erdogan promised.
The 75-year-old Ocalan, has been imprisoned on the island of Imrali, off Istanbul, since 1999, after being convicted of treason.
Despite his incarceration, he continues to wield significant influence over the PKK, which he founded in 1978.
The PKK, designated a terrorist group by Turkiye, the United States and the European Union, has waged an insurgency since 1984 with the aim of carving out a homeland for Kurds, who account for around 20 percent of Turkiye’s 85 million people.
Since Ocalan was jailed in 1999, there have been various attempts to end the bloodshed, which has killed more than 40,000 people.
