Mrs. Akpabio, who spoke to journalists on Friday, defended her husband’s character, stating that he is a disciplined and jovial man who respects women.
Earlier, Akpoti-Uduaghan had alleged that her ordeal in the Senate began after she rejected Akpabio’s sexual advances, a claim the wife of the senate president now controvert.
In a response to the claim, Mrs. Akpabio recounted the cordial relationship between both families, dismissing the allegations as a figment of Natasha’s wild imagination.
The wife of the senate numero uno man also pointed out that she was present at their family residence on December 8, 2023, the alleged date of the incident while emphasising that their families have maintained a long-standing relationship, even before Senator Natasha’s marriage.
Further praising her husband’s discipline, highlighting his track record of supporting women’s inclusion in government, even before becoming Senate President, the Akpabio martriarch advised women to desist from making false accusations.
Consequently, the woman vowed to seek legal redress on the matter.
