Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said he has never s*xually harassed Natasha Akpoti, Senator representing Kogi Central.
Akpabio refuted Natasha’s allegation during plenary on Wednesday as she formally submitted a petition against him on floor of the Senate.
The senate president dismissed the allegations as false, noting that he has been inundated with phone calls from many Nigerians about the matter.
He said, “At no time did I ever attempt any s*xual harassment on the said distinguished senator Akpoti-Uduaghan or any other woman for that matter.”
“I and my siblings were raised very well by my late single mother, who died in 2000, through very difficult times. And I therefore have the highest regard for women.”
“I also have four beautiful daughters. At no time would I ever harass any woman and I have never done so.”
“Even as a state Governor, I won several awards, including the most gender-friendly governor in Nigeria.”
The former Governor of Anambra state thanked his colleagues and other Nigerians for their support, adding that he would be vindicated.
He said, “I urge all Nigerians, particularly the media, and members of the social media, to await the court’s decision. And please, do not jump to conclusions on matters of mere allegation.”
“The Almighty God will step in to vindicate the just.”
