Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan, the husband of Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has defended his wife concerning allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
In an interview on Arise TV on Friday, Akpoti-Uduaghan, the
senator representing Kogi central, alleged that the senate president made
sexual advances towards her in his office and residence in Akwa Ibom state.
Before the allegations, the Kogi senator and Akpabio had
clashed at the upper chamber over seating arrangements.
In a statement on Saturday, Uduaghan, the Alema of Warri
Kingdom, said his wife had confided in him about her “interactions” with the
senate president.
“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,” the statement reads.
“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.
“I now respectfully urge the Senate of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria and the Senate President to treat my beloved wife with the respect
and dignity she truly deserves while the relevant authorities and the court
determine the underlying issues.”
