Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi, the Deputy Chief Whip, has responded to the sexual harassment accusations made against Senator Godswill Akpabio by Natasha Akpoti.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has alleged that Senate President Akpabio has made repeated sexual advances towards her. She claims that his hostility towards her is a result of her refusal to acquiesce to his propositions, both domestically and internationally.

In response to these allegations, Senator Nwaebonyi has asserted that they are false. He emphasized that Senator Akpabio did not engage in any sexual harassment towards Senator Akpoti during their attendance at a birthday celebration, as claimed.

This statement was made by Senator Nwaebonyi during an appearance on Arise TV, as reported by Vanguard.

“On the issue of sexual harassment as alleged by Natasha, as God would have it, I am an eyewitness, and as I posted on social media, I narrated what transpired. On that fateful day of December 8, 2023, I was among the Senators that attended the birthday ceremony of the Senate President.”

“There was never a time the Senate President told Senator Natasha do you like my house? We will come back to have a good time. That never happened, Senator Natasha knows that very well,”
