Natasha’s Hubby And Akpabio’s Friend Confirms Sexual Harassment Allegations

Senator Natasha Akpotii- Uduaghan, husband, High Chief Emmanuel Uduaghan, has broken his silence over the ongoing dispute between his wife and Senate President Godswill Akpabio over allegations of sexual harassments against Akpabio.
Uduaghan spoke in a statement dated March 1, 2025.
The Alema of Warri Kingdom expressed concern over the escalating controversy and urged the Senate to treat his wife with the respect and dignity she deserved.
The former governor who had initially stayed out of the matter, noted that he was compelled to speak due to the “unnecessary sentiments” being stirred, which he believes are distracting from the serious issues at hand. 
He reaffirmed his wife’s dedication to serving her constituency, describing her as a truthful and unwavering leader despite adversity.
He further said that his wife had confided in him about her troubling experiences with Akpabio, whom he once considered a family friend, adding that he personally approached the Senate President, urging him to extend due courtesy and respect to Natasha while maintaining their friendship. He claimed they reached an understanding and agreed to resolve the issue amicably.
However, despite this agreement, Uduaghan noted that his wife continued to express concerns over alleged harassment from Akpabio. Reaffirming his unwavering support for Natasha, he described their marriage as built on love, compassion, and mutual respect, stating that he “would never trade her for anything.”
He, then, urged the Senate and its leadership to uphold core values and allow the relevant authorities to address the allegations against Akpabio transparently.
The controversy between Natasha and Akpabio has dominated public discourse, with the Kogi Central senator accusing the Senate President of intimidation and blocking her motions. The controversy took another turn when Akpabio’s wife, Unoma, publicly defended her husband, prompting Natasha to send a legal warning, advising her to stay out of the matter.
