The President of the 10th Senate, Senator God’swill Obot Akpabio, before the commencement of today’s plenary in the National Assembly denied Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s sexual harassment allegations.
Senator Akpabio while addressing the house in a statement, said he has not at any time sexually harassed any woman, be it Senator Natasha or another.
Akpabio said he and his siblings were raised by a single mother in a very tough condition, who taught them the values he grew up with and that he also has beautiful daughters; hence, he respects women.
