Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has advised the wife of the Senate President, Unoma Akpabio, to leave the sexual harassment claims against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
In a letter dated March 1, 2025, addressed to Mrs. Unoma Akpabio, through her lawyer, Victor Giwa, Akpoti-Uduaghan emphasized that the allegations were personal to the Senate President, who had the ability to address them 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,” underscored that Akpoti-Uduaghan had endured harassment from Akpabio and was now forced to speak out.
It reads, “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 which she has been going through in the red chambers under the hand of the Senate President.”
“Our client has concrete evidence to substantiate her allegations. We will suggest that you leave the defense of the allegations for the Senate President to maintain your sanity and that of your family. Our client remains resolute in the defense of Nigerian women and as a family woman, she will continue to maintain our common heritage and family values.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan urged Mrs. Akpabio to stay out of the matter and allow her husband, the Senate President, to address the allegations himself.
