First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has addressed the controversy surrounding Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension after her allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Akpoti-Uduaghan’s claims stem from a dispute with Akpabio over seating arrangements in the Senate, where she later accused him of making sexual advances, which she rejected.
Despite her formal complaint, the Senate ethics committee dismissed the petition, citing procedural errors and legal constraints.
In a recent interview, Tinubu stated, “I believe that the Senate is doing what is needful, because that’s what it is,” and emphasized that the Senate must maintain its dignity, calling it “an honour” to be part of the chamber.
The First Lady also urged women to stand their ground in leadership roles, saying, “Women, raise yourself, don’t be in a position that men will be talking to you anyhow.”
She further expressed the significant progress women have made, encouraging them to continue striving for excellence and to “lift their heads high.”
