Taiwo Popoola
Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has insisted on sexual harassment allegations against Senate President, Godswill Obot Akpabio.
She said pressure is being mounted on her from various quarters to tender an apology but said she will never succumb as she looks forward to expose and prove her claims.
In a statement she made available to journalists in Abuja on Monday, she reiterated her readiness to pursue justice and ensure the same for her constituents.
She said: “I Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, stand firm in my resolve to never apologise for speaking my truth. The desperation to silence me is palpable, but I will not be intimidated.
“The games being played in full view of the Nigerian people will be exposed, and the corrupt individuals who have hijacked our institutions will be held accountable.
“As a senator, I must represent my constituents and uphold the principles of justice and transparency. My allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio were not made lightly, and I will continue to seek justice and accountability, no matter the cost.”
She pointed out that the six-month suspension slammed at hers was meant to cow and silence her, saying she was more emboldened and would continue to defend the rights of Nigerian women.
She urged Nigerians to disregard reports of her apology, describing it as fake.
