FCT, Abuja – The coordinator of the Citizens Coalition, Kelly Agaba, said Senate President Godswill Akpabio should step down following the sexual harassment allegations levied against him by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
TimesNow.com.ng recalls that Senator Akpoti-Uduagha alleged that Akpabio made sexual advances towards her in exchange for supporting a motion on Ajaokuta Steel Company.
The Kogi Central lawmaker claimed that her challenges in the Senate began after she rejected Akpabio’s alleged sexual advances, which resulted in her motions being repeatedly sidelined.
Agaba said Akpabio stepping aside will allow for a thorough and impartial investigation into the allegations.
He stated this during an exclusive chat with TimesNow.com.ng on Monday, March 3, 2025.
The public affair analyst said it is disturbing that some lawmakers are attacking Senator Uduaghan’s character.
According to Agaba, Akpabio’s position as Senate President is being used to silence and intimidate others from saying the truth.
He insisted that the allegation should be paid massive attention since Senator Natasha was not the first to accuse Akpabio of sexual harassment.
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Deputy Chief Whip, Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi, reacted to the sexual harassment allegation levied against Senator Akpabio.
Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi said Akpabio did not touch or sexually harass Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduagha.
The federal lawmaker said he was an eyewitness during Akpabio’s birthday celebration where Senator Natasha claimed the harassment happened.
