Former Nigerian senator and human rights activist, Shehu Sani, has offered strategic advice to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as she prepares to face the Senate Ethics Committee to substantiate her allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The high-profile case has drawn significant public attention, both local and international, with both parties set to appear before the committee for investigation in the coming days.
In a post shared on his social media platforms, Shehu Sani outlined the critical steps Natasha must take to effectively present her case. He emphasised the importance of providing irrefutable evidence to support her claims, warning that failure to do so could undermine her credibility and the seriousness of the allegations.
“When you make an allegation in the Senate and you are invited before the Ethics Committee, they will ask you for evidence in the form of video, audio, texts, or witnesses,” Sani stated. “And if you don’t have it…?” he questioned, highlighting the potential consequences of unsubstantiated claims in such a high-stakes scenario.
The allegations, which have sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s political landscape, stem from claims made by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The details of the allegations remain under wraps, but the case has sparked a national conversation about power dynamics, accountability, and the treatment of women in Nigerian politics.
As both Natasha and Akpabio prepare to face the Ethics Committee, Sani’s advice has become a focal point of discussion.
