Natasha’s sexual harassment allegation against Akpabio not before senate — Spokesperson

The spokesperson for the Senate, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, has said that the sexual harassment allegation by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, is not before the Senate.

Adaramodu made this disclosure while speaking on Arise TV’s Morning Show on Monday.

He also maintained that the only case before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petition is Akpoti-Uduaghan not complying with the Senate standing orders.

He said, “The only matter before the Senate is between Senator Natasha and the rest of the senators, that she is not complying with the standing orders of the Senate. No other issues.

“Then, if there is anything that comes tomorrow about any senator in the National Aseembly, the ethics, privileges and public petition committee will review once it is referred to them. It is going to be taken as an internal affair.

“In the hallowed chamber, whatever we do or say is not actionable in the court, so because of that, the committee will treat the issue as it comes.

“The Senate does not run the committee with senators. The Senate President does not even run with its members. It is an independent committee.”
