Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has declared that she is fully prepared to present evidence supporting her sexual harassment allegations against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio. Her statement was issued shortly after she officially acknowledged receiving the ₦200 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Akpabio in Abuja on Friday. The legal action followed Natasha’s public claims against the Senate President, accusations she insists are genuine and capable of being substantiated. According to Senator Natasha, Akpabio’s decision to sue her has opened a long-awaited window for transparent legal scrutiny. She explained that the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges previously prevented her from defending or proving her allegations within the legislative framework.Now, she believes the matter has finally reached a neutral and competent court, where every detail can be examined without interference. Natasha emphasized her readiness to defend her statements and present every piece of information required to reveal the truth. She maintained that her claims were never intended to malign the Senate leadership but to demand accountability from those entrusted with national responsibilities. The unfolding legal battle is expected to attract significant national attention, as it involves top government figures and matters related to public conduct. Many political observers believe that the case may set a precedent for how harassment allegations within Nigerian political institutions are handled in the future. For Nigerians following the matter, the court proceedings may offer an opportunity to see both sides present their evidence and arguments in a fully transparent environment.
