Senate President Godswill Akpabio has dismissed allegations made against him by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, calling them “useless” and attributing them to the reassignment of her seat in the Red Chamber. Akpabio further alleged that Akpoti-Uduaghan, who has been suspended from the Senate for six months, caused him and others distress. Following her suspension, Akpabio has faced intense criticism but continues to insist on his innocence, denying all allegations against him. Speaking at an event marking International Women’s Day on Saturday, he claimed to be her latest target, stating that her past accusations had also proven false. He said, “It was only yesterday that I realized that what we are talking about only happened when there was a change of seat. That is when hell was let loose, and all sorts of allegations came up—only after the change of seat and change of committee, which my Senators know happens from time to time. “This is said to have happened on December 8, a day before my birthday, which was celebrated in the stadium in 2023. So from December 8, 2023, I never heard, my wife never heard, no Nigerian ever heard, even her husband never heard any issue of sexual harassment—until her committee was changed, and then her seat was changed. “Have you ever wondered about the trauma caused by that same woman to the other people she has accused in the past? None has been proven so far. Do you even wonder about the trauma this caused to the 10th Senate and the image of the Senate with all these useless allegations? I have refrained from making a statement. “Look at these beautiful women. They have come across me so many times. Have I ever harassed any one of you? Or is the person thinking that you are not beautiful?”
