Akpabio vs. Natasha – Allegations,

In a major political development, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has come under fire following allegations made by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The controversy, which has rocked Nigeria’s political scene, began with a comment made by Akpabio in the Senate and has now escalated to serious accusations of misconduct.

The “Nightclub” Comment That Started It All

Several months ago, during a heated Senate session, Akpabio made a remark directed at Natasha, saying, “We are not in a nightclub.” His comment was widely criticized as sexist and inappropriate, sparking public outrage.

Following the backlash, Akpabio issued an official apology, stating that he did not intend to insult Senator Natasha or any woman in the Senate.

Natasha’s Allegations Against Akpabio

Just when the controversy seemed to be dying down, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan made a shocking revelation. She accused Akpabio of making unsolicited sexual advances towards her, claiming that he had been pressuring her for a romantic relationship.

In a viral video, Natasha stated, “Senate President Akpabio has been demanding that I sleep with him. I refused, and now he’s using his influence against me.”

Ekaette Akpabio Defends Her Husband

Akpabio’s wife, Ekaette Akpabio, has come out strongly to defend her husband against Natasha’s allegations. She dismissed the claims as politically motivated lies and stated that her husband is a disciplined man.

Mrs. Akpabio also threatened legal action against those spreading the allegations, saying that the family would not tolerate defamation.

Public Reactions & Political Consequences

The controversy has drawn mixed reactions from Nigerians. While some believe Natasha’s claims, others feel she is trying to damage Akpabio’s political career.

The Nigerian Women Trust Fund has weighed in on the matter, urging Nigerian politicians to ensure respect and gender fairness in leadership.

What Happens Next?

As of now, there has been no official investigation into Natasha’s allegations against Akpabio. However, the issue continues to gain attention, and political analysts believe it could impact Akpabio’s future in Nigerian politics.
