The controversy surrounding Senate President Godswill Akpabio took a new turn on Tuesday as Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, officially submitted a petition accusing him of sexual harassment.
Natasha presented the petition on the floor of the Senate as plenary resumed, marking the first formal complaint against Akpabio on the matter. Previously, the Senate had maintained that it could not investigate the allegations due to the absence of a formal petition.
Before submitting the petition, Natasha was seen at the National Assembly complex alongside her husband. Meanwhile, protests have erupted in Abuja, with demonstrators demanding Akpabio’s resignation over the allegations.
This development adds to the growing pressure on the Senate President, raising concerns about accountability and the handling of harassment allegations within Nigeria’s political system.
