The senator representing Delta North District, Ned Nwoko has dropped his two cent about the Senate saga between Godswill Akpabio and Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

On Sunday, in an X post where the senator expressed his disappointment, he said Natasha should have apologized for her actions, following his advice.

“After that incident, the Senate Committee on Ethics invited her for a disciplinary hearing, heard from those who were present that day, and all agreed that she had acted in an unruly manner. The report that was submitted was clear—her conduct on the floor was unacceptable, and she should be suspended.

“I personally reached out to her during this process. I sent her messages because, as a lawyer, I know that before any judgment is passed, a person must be allowed to state their case. I asked her: ‘Are you prepared to apologize so that I can speak on your behalf? Ask that you be given the opportunity to apologize’?

“She responded that she did no wrong. That didn’t stop me. I told her directly: ‘You are wrong. I watched the video. I saw what happened. The report before us was not about any sexual harassment claim—it was strictly about her disorderly conduct.

“I was also deeply disappointed by the reaction of her husband. I had expected him to find a way to de-escalate the matter, to prevent it from becoming a full-blown crisis. When he sent me his statement and reaction, I told him exactly how I felt.

“If my wife were in such a situation, I would do everything possible to resolve the issue privately, to manage it in a way that does not cause further division,” the senator said in his statement.

He further noted that the Senate did not deliberate on sexual harassment allegations. “That matter is before the courts and the courts will decide,” he said.
