DELTA WOMEN GIVE AKPABIO 14-DAY ULTIMATUM TO APOLOGIZE OVER SEXUAL HARASSMENT SAGA

Delta State women, under the platform of the Virtuous Women of Delta (VWD), have issued a 14-day ultimatum to Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to apologize over the Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan sexual harassment saga rocking the Senate. The women threatened to storm the National Assembly complex in protest if Akpabio fails to tender an unreserved apology within the stipulated timeframe.

According to the Coordinator of VWD, Deaconess Eguolo Oghenekevwe, the women have watched how the Senate president has dragged the reputation of Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan through the mud, an act she declared as traditionally sacrilegious and attracts heavy sanctions. Oghenekevwe stated, “The fact that he walked out our wife from a public place alone, is enough for us to match to the National Assembly naked.”

The women took umbrage with Akpabio’s previous comments, which mentioned a nightclub, despite knowing that Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan is married to a Delta man. Oghenekevwe said, “Sen. Akpabio had once used words that are unprintable in the first place, mentioning nightclub when he knows Sen. Natasha is married to a full-fledged Delta man.”

The VWD coordinator emphasized that the women are politely asking the Senate president to apologize or face their wrath within the next 14 days. “Sen. Akpabio is from our geopolitical zone, so he knows that our traditions, and culture cannot be swept under the carpet,” Oghenekevwe said.
