Akpoti-Uduaghan Fires Back: ‘I Have Proof Against Akpabio’
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has reiterated that she has concrete evidence to back her sexual harassment allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
In a letter dated March 1, 2025, addressed to Mrs. Akpabio through her lawyer, Victor Giwa, Akpoti-Uduaghan stressed that the accusations were personal to Akpabio, and he had the means to defend himself. The letter, titled “Stay Away from Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Sexual Harassment and Intimidation Allegation Against Sen. President Godswill Akpabio; To Safeguard Your Sanity and That of Your Family”, made it clear that Akpoti-Uduaghan had suffered harassment at the hands of the Senate President and felt compelled to speak out.
The letter stated, “Our client is not desirous of calling you out into the unfortunate saga concerning her allegations against the Senate President and wishes that you restrain yourself from delving into the obscene circumstances. While she has tolerated all the harassment from the Senate President, she was constrained to reveal the unfortunate torture and victimization she has been enduring in the red chambers under the hand of the Senate President.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan’s legal team insisted that she had sufficient evidence to substantiate her claims, urging Mrs. Unoma Akpabio to refrain from involving herself in the matter and allow her husband to respond directly to the allegations.
The letter further emphasized that Akpoti-Uduaghan remains committed to standing up for Nigerian women and preserving family values. She urged Akpabio’s wife to maintain her distance from the ongoing issue and let the Senate President defend himself.
“We suggest that you leave the defense of the allegations for the Senate President to maintain your sanity and that of your family,” the letter concluded.
The case has drawn significant public attention, with calls for an open investigation into the allegations against Akpabio.
