A political storm has hit the Senate as Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has officially submitted a petition, accusing Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment and abuse of office.
The petition, which was formally presented on the Senate floor, has sent shockwaves through the National Assembly, with lawmakers and political observers keenly watching the unfolding drama. Akpoti-Uduaghan alleges that Akpabio leveraged his position to intimidate and harass her, demanding urgent legislative and legal action against him.
While Akpabio’s camp has yet to issue an official response, sources suggest the Senate leadership may attempt to downplay the allegations. However, calls for an independent probe are already gaining momentum, with civil society organizations demanding transparency and accountability.
As tensions rise, the Senate is set for heated debates over the accusations, with implications that could shake the leadership structure of Nigeria’s upper legislative chamber.
