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.
