KUNLE SOMORIN WRITES ON THE NEED FOR THE SENATE TO THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE ALL ALLEGATIONS LEVELLED AGAINST THE SENATE PRESIDENT, SENATOR GODSWILLAKPABIO BY SUSPENDED KOGICENTRAL SENATOR, NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN.
In the annals of political intrigue, the Nigerian National Assembly has rarely seen a scandal as sensational as the recent allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. Branded “sex-for-motion” by social media wags, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, accused Akpabio of making unwelcome advances, a charge the Senate President and his wife, Ekaette, fervently deny. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has demanded an independent investigation, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
