BREAKING: Natasha Exposes Akpabio’s Alleged Sexual Advances

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, senator representing Kogi Central, has alleged that her challenges in the senate started after she declined unwanted sexual advances from Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

Akpoti-Uduaghan made this known during an interview with Arise TV on Friday.

The Kogi Central senator recounted the alleged incident, which she said took place in December, a day before both their birthdays.

“Mine is the case of a student being punished by a lecturer for refusing to sleep with him,” she stated

“It all started the day before his birthday and my birthday because we are birthday mates. We were all in Akwa Ibom. At first, we were in his house at Ikot Ekpene. Then we all went to his house in Uyo, then he held my hands, walking around from room to room, he showed me the beautiful interiors.

He got to this particular sitting room and asked me if I liked his house. I said of course, Sir, every room is beautiful, beautiful taste. And he said, Now you are a senator, I am going to create time for us to come create quality moments here. You will enjoy it.’ At that point, I just pulled away because I didn’t understand what he meant,” she said.

Tensions flared after Senate Chief Whip Mohammed Monguno informed Akpabio that Akpoti-Uduaghan had refused to move to a new seat assigned to her, following the defection of two opposition senators to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Monguno, citing Orders 24 and 6, asserted that it was within the Senate President’s discretion to reassign senators’ seats. He further argued that a senator could only speak from their designated seat and that Akpabio had the authority to bar contributions from an unassigned position.

Akpoti-Uduaghan swiftly objected, rising in protest under Order 10, claiming her privileges had been breached. However, the Senate President directed that she be removed from the chamber, intensifying the standoff
