Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has reaffirmed her sexual harassment allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, stating that she possesses concrete evidence to support her claims.
In a letter addressed to the wife of the Senate President, Ekaette Akpabio through her lawyer Victor Giwa, Akpoti-Uduaghan explained that the accusations were personal to the Senate President and that he should defend himself.
The statement added that while the female Senator had endured harassment from Akpabio and was now compelled to speak out, Mrs Akpabio is advised to stay away from the conflict to safeguard her Sanity and That of her Family.
The letter reads:
“Our client is not desirous of calling you out into the unfortunate saga concerning her allegations against the Senate President and wishes that you restrain yourself from delving into the obscene circumstances.While she has tolerated all the harassment from the Senate President, she was constrained to reveal the unfortunate torture and victimization which she has been going through in the red chambers under the hand of the Senate President.Our client has concrete evidence to substantiate her allegations. We will suggest that you leave the defense of the allegations for the Senate President to maintain your sanity and that of your family.Our client remains resolute in the defense of Nigerian women, and as a family woman, she will continue to uphold our common heritage and family values.”Akpoti-Uduaghan and Akpabio have been in a messy public conflict which started off days ago with a disagreement over seat arrangements.
