Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has requested for live television broadcast of her appearance for probe proceedings by the Ethics and Disciplinary Committee of the Senate directed to probe her.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was referred to the Senate’s Ethics and Disciplinary Committee following her face-off with President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio over her seating arrangement which was changed without her being informed.

The vibrant female lawmaker in a post across social media platforms on Thursday, February 27, 2025, stressed that Nigerians have a right to witness the process.

Akpoti-Uduaghan however, said that while she was ready to face the panel, would not allow the matter to be handled behind closed doors.

She explained that she deliberately refrained from speaking publicly on the issue and other developments in the Senate, but had now decided to break her silence.

The outspoken senator urged Nigerians to follow the proceedings closely, stressing that she would push for full transparency.

Akpoti-Uduaghan wrote; “Good morning courageous people of Kogi Central, Kogi State and Nigeria. This petition came to my notice a few hours ago.

“In as much as I have refrained from publicly speaking on the matter and a lot of occurrences at the Senate under Senate President Akpabio, it’s about time I break my silence.

“Arise News, set a date and I shall be in your studio in person. Spare no questions.

“And to Nigerians, please be sure to join the probe which I shall insist would be covered live.

“The next few days and weeks shall be interesting but will shape the standard and quality of Nigeria’s leadership,” she said.

Rivers state LGA Chairmen have been sent packing by the Supreme Court.

The Senator representing the Central Senatorial District of Kogi State in the National Assembly (NASS), Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has further exposed Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, declaring he made passes at her.

She made this revelation during an interview on Arise TV on Friday, February 28, 2025 said that Akpabio, made passes to indicating intimate affairs.

Recalling the alleged incident on Friday, the Kogi Central senator claimed that the encounter occurred in December, just a day before their respective birthdays.

“It all started the day before his birthday and my birthday because we are birthday mates.

“We were all in Akwa Ibom. At first, we were in his house at Ikot Ekpene. Then we all went to his house in Uyo, then he held my hands, walking around from room to room, he showed me the beautiful interiors.

“He got to this particular sitting room and asked me if I liked his house. I said of course, Sir, every room is beautiful, beautiful taste. And he said, Now you are a senator, I am going to create time for us to come create quality moments here. You will enjoy it.’ At that point, I just pulled away because I didn’t understand what he meant,” she said.

The Kogi senator further noted that since she rejected Apkabio’s sexual advances, the senate president has consistently undermined her role as a senator, including removing her from key committees and reassigning her Senate seat without notice.

She added that she had once visited Akpabio in his office, wherein the former Governor of Akwa Ibom State told her she would enjoy many benefits if she takes care of him.

Meanwhile, Natasha recently filed a 100 million naira suit against the office of the Senate President and Senator Godswill Akpabio.

The suit, marked CU/737/25 filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja, also demands a public apology and a perpetual injunction restraining the defendants from further publishing defamatory statements against her.

Senator Natasha has recently engaged in a series of confrontations with Senate President Akpabio, highlighting tensions within the Nigerian Senate.
