The Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio has denied the allegations of sexual harassment made against him by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Akpabio denied the allegation on Wednesday during the Senate’s plenary session after a one-week break.
He said, “At no time did I ever harass any woman. I was raised very well by my late single mother and I have always upheld respect for women. I was even awarded the most gender-friendly governor in Nigeria.”
Akpabio said he had been receiving calls about the matter since February 25 and was aware of the discussions on social media.
He urged Nigerians and the media to avoid making conclusions, asking them to wait for the court’s decision.
