Nigerian First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, has said the senate is taking the necessary steps over the sexual harassment allegations by Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
It would be recalled that the The Nigerian Senate has suspended Senator Natasha for six months due to her alleged “total violation” of the Senate Standing Rules 2023, as amended.
This decision follows the presentation of a report by the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, led by Senator Neda Imaseun, during a plenary session.
While reacting to the raging issue in Abuja on Thursday, Mrs Tinubu said that the senate, being the apex legislative chamber in the country, should not be a place where such things should happen.
“I know what is going on in the Senate; you will say why am I not taking a position; I believe that the senate is doing what is needful.
‘This is because the senate is a mature chamber and it should be treated with respect.
“It is also an honour for anyone who happens to be there; I was there for 12 years,” she said.
