Akpabio Treated Me Like A Domestic Servant – Natasha

Suspended Kogi Central senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on Tuesday accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of treating her like a slave and running the National Assembly in a dictatorial manner.

Speaking to journalists in her office at the National Assembly complex shortly after it was reopened by the sergeant-at-arms, Natasha alleged that Akpabio had subjected her to humiliation since her suspension six months ago.

The senator was suspended after accusing Akpabio of sexual harassment, a claim she has not been able to substantiate.

Reflecting on her ordeal, Natasha said she endured several challenges during her suspension, including road blockades and social media blackmail.

She said, “From the unjust suspension to the recall, we survived the blockade of roads, we survived the blackmail from the crazy lady on Facebook, it’s amazing what we had to survive.

“I give God Almighty the glory and my deepest appreciation to the good people of Kogi Central senatorial district, Nigerians at large, and to my husband. I pray all men support their wives like you have supported me.

“Sometimes, it’s good to put the institutions to the test. We can’t bow down in the face of injustice, no one is more Nigerian than us.

“Senator Akpabio is not more of a senator than I am. He is not the governor of this place and he treated me as if I was his servant or domestic staff in his house.

“It’s very unfortunate that after so many years of democracy, we will have a National Assembly being run by such dictatorship. It is totally unacceptable.

“As for me, I’m glad to be here and even though we have been illegally suspended, no day have I hesitated in effectively carrying out my duties as a senator of Kogi Central to the very best of my capacity.”
