Sexually Allegation: Tinibu's Wife Backs Akpabio, Says Suspending Senator Natasha Necessary

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has commended Nigeria Senate for its decision over the suspension of Kogi Central lawmaker, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

Recall that Senator Natasha was suspended on Thursday, for breaching the code of conduct of the upper chamber. The development is coming, following days of controversy between Mrs. Natasha and Senate President Godswil Akpabio. The Kogi Central lawmaker was heard on Arise TV last week, accusing Senator Akpabio for punishing her due to her refusal to grant him sexual advances.

On Wednesday, Mrs. Natasha proceeded to the Senate to submit a petition against the Senate President. Reacting to the development while addressing journalists on Thursday, Remi Tinubu emphasised that the Senate should be a place of honor, not controversy. Speaking over Akpabio, the first lady said that Senate is taking the necessary steps.

She said: “I know with what is going on in the Senate, you may say, why am I not taking a position? I believe that the Senate is doing what is needful because that’s what it is. "It is an inside place and it’s a matured chamber. It’s a mature chamber, and it should be treated with respect. It’s an honour for you to be in that place alone.

“I was there for 12 years, even in my younger days, and I’m still trying to look young, but people compliment you all the time, only that, women raise yourself, don’t be in a position that men will be talking to you anyhow”.
