I'm traumatised By Natasha, Senate with sexual harassment allegation — Akpabio

The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio on Saturday said the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was suspended by the Senate for six months, traumatised him and others.

Akpabio had come under heavy criticism following the sanction handed out to the lawmaker. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, cautioned the Senate against making the political atmosphere toxic for women. Major opposition parties in the country have also expressed outrage over the manner in which the complaint was handled. But Akpabio maintained his innocence, saying none of what she alleged was true.
