Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has leveled a new allegation against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, claiming he made inappropriate comments about her body. According to her, Akpabio remarked that her waist “would make good movements,” a statement she described as unprofessional and offensive.
This latest accusation adds to the growing controversy surrounding Akpabio, who has been facing criticism over various issues, including alleged bribery claims and internal Senate tensions. Akpoti-Uduaghan, a vocal lawmaker, has called for greater accountability and respect within the Senate, emphasizing that such remarks undermine the dignity of women in politics.
Akpabio has yet to officially respond to the allegation, but his media team has previously dismissed similar claims as politically motivated attacks aimed at tarnishing his leadership.
The development has sparked renewed debate on gender relations in Nigerian politics, with rights activists and lawmakers urging the Senate to address workplace ethics and ensure a respectful environment for all members.
