THE spokesperson for the Senate, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, has said that the sexual harassment allegation by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, is not before the Senate.
Adaramodu made this disclosure while speaking on Arise TV’s Morning Show on Monday.
He also maintained that the only case before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petition is Akpoti-Uduaghan not complying with the Senate standing orders.
He said, “The only matter before the Senate is between Senator Natasha and the rest of the senators, that she is not complying with the standing orders of the Senate. No other issues.”
It will be recalled that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan last week alleged that Mr Akpabio had been sexually harassing her despite being a friend of her husband. She claimed that her refusal had led to a series of Ill-treatment on the part of the Senate President.
Mr Akpabio is yet to respond to this allegation as of press time.
