Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan then formally submitted a petition against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, accusing him of sexual harassment. The explosive petition, filed during the Senate plenary on March 5, 2025, follows her previous public allegations made during an interview on Arise TV.
Speaking under Order 40 of the Senate Rules—allowing senators to raise matters of personal privilege—Senator Natasha took the floor to lay out her grievances. Her move sent shockwaves through the chamber as she detailed her accusations before officially submitting the petition. Senate President Akpabio, despite being at the center of the controversy, proceeded with the session and directed her to submit the document.
The petition has now been lodged and the Senate president immediately referred it to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions for further investigation.
The committee, chaired by Senator Neda Imaseun, is set to probe the matter.
