Cyril Fasuyi, a Senator representing Ekiti North Senatorial District during the Senate sitting told the Senate that Kayode Fayemi, ex-Minister of Mines and Steel, will be presenting a petition through him, against the petitioner (Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan).

Fasuyi claimed that Senator Natasha had accused Fayemi of selling Ajaokuta Steel whilst he (Fayemi) was Minister but it all turned out to be false.

Mr Senate President, before I say what I want to say, I want to refer you to Psalms 34 line 19 which reads this: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the LORD delivers him from them all. The righteous person faces many troubles but the LORD comes to his rescue all the time.,

My President, I want to bring up a case that happened when my former governor was ex-Minister of the Federal Republic.

Mr President, I want to say this that my former governor is going to bring a petition on the allegation that Senator Natasha that he (Fayemi) sold Ajaokuta Steel Mill.

And if what is happening about character, then we have to expose the character of the petitioner.

Mr President, I am coming officially with a petition on behalf of my former governor, that he sold Ajaokuta Steel Mill when he was a minister. And Senator Natasha was the one that alleged as of that time.

And as of today, Mr President, Ajaokuta still belongs to the Federal Government. I have just said this as a notice, sir.

Fayemi responds

CLARIFICATION REGARDING ALLEGATIONS MADE BY SENATOR CYRIL FASUYI AGAINST DR. KAYODE FAYEMI

We have become aware of a statement made by Senator Cyril Fasuyi during today’s Senate plenary, in which he alleged that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan had previously accused Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, of sexual harassment.

We categorically state that this claim is entirely false. At no time has Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan—or anyone else, for that matter—ever accused Dr. Fayemi of such misconduct. It appears that the Distinguished Senator from Ekiti inadvertently misrepresented the facts, as no such allegation has ever been made against Dr. Fayemi.

Consequently, there is no basis for Senator Fasuyi’s further assertion that Dr. Fayemi would be submitting a petition to the Senate in this regard. We would like to believe that, in his enthusiasm to defend the Senate President, Senator Fasuyi inadvertently conflated events, leading to a misrepresentation of facts.

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan
For the record, the only professional engagement Dr. Fayemi ever had with Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was during his tenure as the Honourable Minister of Mines and Steel Development, when he oversaw matters related to the Ajaokuta Steel Company. While they may have held differing views on the future of the company at the time, their interactions remained strictly within the realm of policy discussions. At no point did Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan make any allegations of misconduct against Dr. Fayemi.

We urge Senator Fasuyi to exercise greater diligence in verifying facts before making public statements, especially on sensitive matters that could damage reputations.

Dr. Fayemi remains committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity in public service, and we reject any attempt to tarnish his name with baseless allegations

I hope Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan sue him(Cyril Fasuyi) for character assassination, defamation of character and assault on her person/integrity

Quoting the Holy Bible just in his senseless haste to reinforce a fallacy. Fear anything APC.
Natasha may be rightly or wrongly alleging but let Akpabio step down, panel be set up to investigate this accusations.

Politician quoting bible 😂😂

Senate of Scandals.

Very stupid senators supporting that useless he goat called Akpabio. Ashawo man. If you gets on his way, he will kill you. Evil politicians

They can't. The politicians have taken over, that's why you are seeing the topics on FP. It's not an accident they have their minions here and the posts they want here. It is how they convince you to be on their side. On this matter, they forgot that Fayemi's wife is a feminist, so they chose the wrong person. The plan is to make Natasha look bad so we can judge her instead of judging this particular case. What should be scary is the allegation of Natasha that the SP threatened to unalive anyone who dared to protest against him Nigeria is not serious for now, that's why we are seeing this action movie. One day, these actors will be a thing of the past but the new ones don't give any hope either

Good of you Fayemi

Look how a whole senator of the Federal republic of Nigeria bootlicking the ass of senate president. Ha! oma she o

Why will some lie against an ex governor? Who asked him to lie? What is in it for him?

TheCable lied and they have deleted the report. Fayemi never accused the senator of lying

Gentlemanly Fayemi thank you

Akpabio in trouble! He forgot that Natasha’s husband Emmanuel Uduaghan is James Ibori’s boy

betbaron:

What else do Yoruba people have in their arsenal against this poor traumatized woman?
What wrong did she do to them that they are fighting her this way?

Must you people mention tribe?
I’m still trying to understand the correlation between this her case and Yoruba people. The Senate president is from Akwa Ibom, so explain.
Otherwise, I don’t think there’s anything innocent about that woman.

Fayemi writer no well, the guy never mentioned sexual harassment. He said, the lady accused him of selling ajaokuta steal. Not sexual harassment. I listened to him.

Clown being carried away by his desire to defend his boss.
He even went as far as quoting a Bible passage.
Ronu hypocrite!

See the way they are disgracing themselves, an European or American would have stepped down so investigation can commence,
But Nigeria own is we die there just like their president yaradua with cancer that refused to step down till he died

I knew it. Why do people behave that way
