Akpabio vs Akpoti-Uduaghan: We don’t know about it – Kingibe on Natasha’s claims

The lawmaker representing the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, in the Senate, Ireti Kingibe, has added her voice to the faceoff between Senators, Godswill Akpabio and Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

She specifically spoke about the secual harassment the Senate President is being accused of.

DAILY POST reported earlier in the week that Senators Natasha and the Akpabio clashed during plenary proceedings in the Senate.

The incident on Thursday led to a rowdy section at the Senate a Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, a member representing the Kogi Central refused to use the seat allocated to her.

The female lawmaker, who cited Order 10 of the Senate Standing Rules, which according to her, protects the privileges of members, argued that her seat cannot be changed without her notice.

Refusing to comply with the new seat arrangement, Natasha challenged the decision of Akpabio to change her seat, sparking a heated exchange in the chamber.

A viral video clip captured Natasha challenging the Senate President, saying, “I am not afraid of you.”

Following the incident, a popular activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju had described Akpabio is the “worst Senate President” Nigeria has ever produced.

Also activist lawyer, Madubuachi Idam urged Nigerians to reject the bullying of senators by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

Idam said it was unconstitutional for Akpabio to deny Kogi Senator, Natasha Akpoti from making contributions during plenary because she disobeyed sitting arrangement.

In a similar reaction, Popular rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, berated the Senateor Akpabio, saying he should be in jail by now instead of leading the Senate and harassing the only two vocal female senators in the National Assembly.

But in her reaction on Arise TV’s News Day, Mrs Kingibe said Akpoti-Uduaghan had never opened up to fellow female Senators on any form of sexual harassment by Akpabio.

“The three of us (female senators) were not sexually harassed; that is not to say that if Senator Natasha can prove what she has, that is fine, we will support her. But she has never discussed it with us, we do not know about it.” She said.
