Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the senator representing Kogi Central, has advised Ekaette Akpabio, the wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, not to involve herself in the ongoing allegations against her husband. In a recent interview on Arise TV, Akpoti-Uduaghan accused the Senate President of making sexual advances toward her at both his office and residence in Akwa Ibom. In response, Ekaette Akpabio defended her husband, calling the accusations “lies” and asserting that he is a disciplined man. Following these accusations, Ekaette filed fundamental rights and defamation suits against Akpoti-Uduaghan. However, in a letter dated March 1, Akpoti-Uduaghan, through her lawyer Victor Giwa, urged Ekaette to stay out of the matter. She described the situation as “unfortunate” and emphasized that she did not wish for the Senate President’s wife to be involved The letter, addressed to Ekaette Akpabio, reads: “Our client is not desirous of calling you out into the unfortunate saga concerning her allegations against the Senate President and wishes that you restrain yourself from delving into the obscene circumstances. While she has tolerated all the harassment from the Senate President, she was constrained to reveal the unfortunate torture and victimization she has endured in the Red Chambers. Consequently, we would like to state that the allegations of our client are personal to the Senate President, and our client believes the Senate President has the capacity to defend himself and refute any of these allegations against him. Our client has concrete evidence to substantiate her allegations. We will suggest that you leave the defense of the allegations for the Senate President to maintain your sanity and that of your family. Akpoti-Uduaghan’s letter further stresses that the matter is between her and the Senate President, and that Ekaette should focus on her own well-being rather than involving herself in the controversy. |
