Deputy Chief Whip, Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi, has dismissed the sexual harassment allegations leveled against Senate President Godswill Akpabio by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as false.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan (representing Kogi Central) recently accused Akpabio of making persistent sexual advances toward her, both within and outside Nigeria. She alleged that his antagonism toward her stemmed from her refusal to yield to his advances.
However, reacting to the allegations in an interview on Arise TV, Nwaebonyi refuted them, stating that he was an eyewitness to the alleged incident and that nothing of the sort happened.
“On the issue of sexual harassment as alleged by Natasha, as God would have it, I am an eyewitness, and as I posted on social media, I narrated what transpired.”
He specifically addressed the claim that Akpabio invited Natasha to his house, denying it completely.
“There was never a time the Senate President told Senator Natasha, ‘Do you like my house? We will come back to have a good time.’ That never happened, and Senator Natasha knows that very well.”
The controversy continues to spark debate, with many closely watching how both parties will proceed.
