Ekaette Akpabio, wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio,
has accused Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the senator representing Kogi central, of
telling lies against her husband.
Speaking in an interview on Friday, Ekaette described
Akpabio as a “disciplined and responsible” man who will not disrespect her and
their children.
Earlier, Akpoti-Uduaghan alleged that her ordeal in the
senate started because she rejected Akpabio’s sexual advances.
The Kogi senator alleged that Akpabio made passes at her
when she and her husband visited his home in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, for the
senate president’s birthday celebration in December 2023.
Countering the allegations, Ekaette said Akpoti-Uduaghan’s
husband, who is their family friend, could have heard the purported
conversation between Akpabio and the Kogi senator.
Akpabio’s wife added that the senate president’s Akwa Ibom
residences are never empty and that security operatives are always with her
husband.
Ekaette said Akpabio worked with many women when he was Akwa
Ibom governor and there were no allegations of sexual harassment.
“There is no way that a man as disciplined as that can think
of taking a woman to his home. He has a lot of respect for me and the
children,” Ekaette said.
“In Akwa Ibom, when he was a governor, a lot of women were
involved in governance and none of them ever said something like this. The
senate president is a very responsible and disciplined man.”
Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan have been making the headlines
following a heated argument at the senate over a change in seating arrangements
on February 20.
