Mariam Sanni
The Nigerians Ambassador for Gender Transquility, NAGET has demanded that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan be suspended from the National Assembly until she retract her allegations and tender an apology to the senate president , Senator Godwill Akpabio.
The president of NAGET, Elijah Tule made this call during a press conference in Abuja .
It could be recalled Senator Natasha made an allegation of sexual harassment against the Senate President of Nigeria, Senator God’s Will Apabio, on a morning show.
He emphasized that the Senate President has never been in the news for harassing any woman in the past, noting that this makes it very difficult to successfully lie against him.
According to him , Nigerians have seen the unfortunate outburst by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan over a simple matter of ‘seat allocation’ occasioned by the defection of some Senators in the red chamber of the National Assembly.
“Having grossly violated the rules of the Senate and further desecrated the Seat of the Senate President, we demand that she be suspended from the Senate until she retracts her allegations and tenders an unreserved apology to the Senate President.
“It’s for this reason that the Nigerian Ambassadors for Gender Tranquility has decided to stand with the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, and to say to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan that “You can do better than this,”he noted.
The Group demanded that’s Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan withdraws her spurious allegations against the person of the Senate President, or face the wrath of all well meaning Nigerians.
“Nigerians already know that it’s almost certain to hear allegations of sexual harassment from women whenever they disagree with the men. We want this gender intimidation to end now, so that sanity can take a toll.
“Nigerians have seen the unfortunate outburst by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan over a simple matter of ‘seat allocation’ occasioned by the defection of some Senators in the red chamber of the National Assembly.
“NAGET intends to mobilize Nigerians to always stand by the truth, while striving to step forward and explore new frontiers with utmost love and respect for each other.
“We reiterate that, as the offspring of very confident patriots, who have offered the ultimate sacrifice several times, and also offered proven and undeniable quality service to our country, we shall stand by the truth and for the truth, at all times,” he stated.
