Senator Godswill Akpabio has slammed Natasha Akpoti for disgracing Nigeria at the UN meeting by presenting distorted information about the sexual harassment allegations.
Remember that Natasha Akpoti attended the United Nations (UN) internet-parliamentary conference in New York on Tuesday, March 12, to accuse the Senate of suspending her because of her sexual harassment allegations against Senator Akpabio?
During the Senate plenary on Thursday, March 13, Akpabio chastised the Kogi senator for “embarrassing the upper chamber by presenting a misleading narrative to the international community.”
Senator Akpabio responded to Natasha Akpoti’s actions as follows:
“I am aware that she distorted the facts and globalized the situation, embarrassing the Senate by presenting a different perspective. Hon Kafilat deserves credit for informing the international media that what was presented was not accurate.
“She petitioned the Senate, but we were not allowed to examine it. Instead, she took it to court, and then to the international community. Actions like this may discourage politicians from appointing women to key positions.”
