Senate President Godswill Akpabio’s in hot water, and reports have it that he’s feeling the heat from Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s harassment allegations. On Sunday, March 9, he told reporters her words have “traumatised” him and the Senate, calling them lies meant to ruin his name. This comes after Natasha’s TV claims last Friday that he’s been after her since she said no to him.
Natasha’s been suspended since March 6 for six months, and last Wednesday, protesters clashed outside the National Assembly. Akpabio’s hitting back, saying she’s just playing dirty because she lost her seat fight. His wife tried to calm things down last week, but Natasha’s lawyer told her to step aside as things are already getting personal and messy.
No new protests hit Abuja today, but the story’s alive. Akpabio wants it dead, swearing he’s clean, while Natasha’s camp says she has got proof. Nigerians are picking sides, while some call him a bully, others say she’s stirring trouble. Who’s telling the truth?
