Women’s Group Slams Senator Natasha For ‘Attacks’ On Akpabio
  • PublishedDecember 7, 2025

Women for Democratic Accountability (WDA), a national coalition promoting women’s participation in governance, has criticised Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for what it called her ongoing “attacks” on Senate President Godswill Akpabio, urging her to refrain from public statements that could undermine democratic institutions.

In a statement signed on Saturday by the group’s convener, Hajia Zainab Mohammed, WDA said Senator Natasha’s repeated public comments, including a social media post on December 5, show a “pattern of incendiary rhetoric” that threatens the integrity of national institutions.

The coalition added that Senator Natasha has “consistently opted for media confrontations over respecting judicial processes,” despite the matter being before the courts.

WDA emphasised that, as a female leader and lawmaker, she has a heightened responsibility to uphold decorum, restraint, and respect for institutions.

The statement also accused the senator of making sweeping remarks that “ridicule the Senate, disparage the Senate President, and cast aspersions on the courts,” warning that such actions could undermine public confidence in the nation’s democratic pillars.
