Nigerian Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has alleged that she experienced sexual harassment involving the President of the Nigerian Senate, who has denied the allegations.

In an interview with the BBC, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, one of only four women in the 109-member Senate, described the chamber as "a cult" where people are afraid to express dissenting views for fear of retaliation.

Natasha Akpoti: Senate is like a cult — lawmakers tuck in contrary views for fear of victimisation

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, senator representing Kogi central, says the Nigerian senate is like a “cult”, adding that senators do not express contrary views in the upper chamber for fear of retaliation.

Akpoti-Uduaghan was speaking in an interview with the BBC.

“I am being victimised. My suspension is a means of silencing me,” she said.

“It was episode after episode, moment after moment. We were at his country home. He was taking me around his house. My husband was walking behind us. He held my hand.

“He then squeezed my hands in a very suggestive way. We women, we know what it means when a man squeezes our hands in a suggestive way.

“And he went, ‘now that you’re in the senate, I’ll make an opportunity for us to come here and have a good moment’, you know, along that line.”

Asked if Akpabio ever made any advances towards her in the chamber or the senate, she said: “There was a time when I rushed to work forgetting to wear my ring, there were about five senators there. He said, ‘Oh Natasha, you are not wearing your ring, is this an invitation to treat?’ You know, statements like this.”

The woman is really exposing the senate, and I like it. But then, the chances that she's playing to the gallery is also there.

Meanwhile, I don't find Natasha sexually attractive at all. I wonder how senators with a lot of opportunities to attract women could be falling for her. Who else thinks the same?

Last week it was United Nations, now BBC

She is just running around looking for where to hang her problem.
Silent you for acting like a mad woman on the floor?

It's not on YouTube yet. Here is it on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1KzaURAkm8/

docdes:
Why not share a YouTube video? I'm unable to access the video because I don't have an Instagram account.

The woman really is troublesome. Take your suspension like a reasonable human being. This is the type who’ll quickly call a man childish. See how she’s acting.

Let's focus on the real reasons behind her suspension, not baseless allegations like sexual harassment

We must respect the institutions and rules that govern our country. Make she go read Senate order.

The truth will come out, and justice will be served. Na wetin I know

Kogi people too like wahala. Na so she lie on top Reno like that.

That money she is busy spending on international trips and media houses would have lifted a lot of people out from poverty in her senatorial district

Why didn't she submit her sexual harassment petition to the court?

Do you notice the hoard of contracted and paid hooligans to pull down this woman?

Old fat matron, series baby-mama of four bastard feral children, expired ho-for-rent, and career noise-maker Mrs. Natrasha Abolonjeku MUST be silenced FOREVER by sending her BACK to the kitchen in her husband's house where she belongs.

There must be ZERO tolerance for this elderly hook-nosed mad woman in ANY arm of the legislature or government. That crazed old witch should be taken away by professional dog catchers so that she can be evaluated in the safety of a secure mental asylum over the next year or two.

I doubt if we have ever had controversial figure in Senate like Natasha before.

She's a good riddance

Silence you for what else do you have to say that you have not said,maybe he has eventually raped you abi?.Berekete and arise tv were not loud enough,cnn and aljazira remain

How such a mentally ill old hag found her way out of a lunatic asylum and into the halls of legislative power is a mystery in the first place.

Anyway, good riddance to a truly nasty old noise-making crone who suffers from intense but amusing delusions of grandeur.

eepeepook:

Your tone is now conciliatory. LoL

Una don buy market.

This woman too talk,abeg send EFCC after am.

It's disappointing to see a lawmaker flout the very rules she's meant to uphold, don't cover your bad attitude with sexual harrasment

.

Except you have been silent about the alleged sexual harassment for 2 years...even travelling with the man....smiling...taking selfies...visiting him alone in hotel according to your female senators...seductively talking to him on the senate floor...

Natasha's suspension will soon move from 6 months to indefinite

She's bigger than you. Come rain, come sun, come harmattan.

Dummy.

You have nothing to pull off here..

you can't keep playing the victim card every time because you are a woman.

This drama by madam is embarrassing Nigeria’s Senate. Where is the dignity in leadership?

Where next? Just to suppress her unruly conduct in the senate?

Madam Rest

Hmmm🤔

Drag am, hold am for balls


Our gangsterism is the cause of our undevelopment . That is why the country can never work e.g Wike using federal power to fight Gov Fubara. Imagine the guts of a mere appiontee that Tinubu can fire for his toilet seat 😥

Natasha, you will succeed. You will fulfill your potential and your constituents will thank God for sending you their way.
