Senate President Godswill Akpabio has denied ever sexually harassing the Senator representing Kogi West, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Akpabio issued the denial on Wednesday, saying he is a well brought up man who has not harassed any of his female associates all through his political career.
On Wednesday, March 5, 2025, Senator Natasha formally submitted a petition to the Senate, reinforcing her allegation against Akpabio.
“I would like to state clearly that at no time did I ever attempt any sexual harassment on the said Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan or any other woman for that matter. I and my siblings were raised very well by my late single mother, who died in the year 2000.
“I also wish to state that I have four beautiful daughters. So at no time will I ever harass any woman and I have never done so.
“In addition, even as a state governor, I was awarded various awards, one of them was the one you wished to know, “the most gender-friendly governor in Nigeria.” I served between 2007 and 2015, to God be the glory,” Akpabio said.
The Senate President, therefore, urged the public and the media not to jump to conclusions and wait for the court verdict on the matter.
I urge all Nigerians, particularly the media and members of the social media, to await the court decision and, please, do not jump to conclusions on matters of mere allegations,” he said.
