Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s husband, Emmanuel, Defends Wife Over Allegations Against Akpabio

Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan, husband of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has defended his wife following her allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

On Friday, during an interview on Arise TV, Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, claimed that Akpabio had made inappropriate advances towards her both in his office and at his residence in Akwa Ibom. This comes after a cl+sh between the two in the Senate over seating arrangements.

In a statement on Saturday, Uduaghan, the Alema of Warri Kingdom, said his wife had previously confided in him about her interactions with Akpabio.

“I personally met with the Senate President and respectfully urged him to extend the courtesy and respect my wife deserves, while also honoring the friendship between us. We reached an understanding and agreed to resolve the issue amicably,” he stated.

“However, despite this agreement, my wife continues to express concerns about the hara§§ment she has endured from the Senate President.

I have unwavering faith in my wife’s loyalty and am fully committed to our marriage, which is grounded in love, compassion, and mutual respect.
I would never trade her for anything, as she is the greatest joy of my life.

I now respectfully urge the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Senate President to treat my beloved wife with the respect and dignity she truly deserves while the relevant authorities and the court determine the underlying issues,” Mr Uduaghan said.
