Natasha’s husband: Akpabio harassing my wife despite my agreement with him

Emmanuel Uduaghan, the husband of the senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, says Senate President Godswill Akpabio continued to harass his wife despite an agreement with him.

Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Akpabio of sexual harassment during an interview on Arise TV on Friday, February 28, 2025.

The lawmaker accused Akpabio of making sexual advances to her on December 8, 2023, while on assignment in Akwa Ibom State.

Before the allegations, Akpoti-Uduaghan and the Senate President clashed at the upper chamber over seating arrangements.

Speaking on the allegations via a statement on Saturday, Uduaghan disclosed that he met with Akpabio on the accusations, noting that an agreement was reached to resolve the issue amicably.

He stated: “I personally met with the Senate President and respectfully urged him to extend the courtesy and respect my wife deserves, while also honoring the friendship between us. We reached an understanding and agreed to resolve the issue amicably.

“However, despite this agreement, my wife continues to express concerns about the harassment she has endured from the Senate President.

“I have unwavering faith in my wife’s loyalty and am fully committed to our marriage, which is grounded in love, compassion, and mutual respect.

“I would never trade her for anything, as she is the greatest joy of my life.”

Uduaghan, however, urged the Senate and Akpabio to treat “my beloved wife with the respect and dignity she truly deserves while the relevant authorities and the court determine the underlying issues.”
