The pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, has urged the Senate and the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation to investigate the allegations made by Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Senator Godswill Akpabio.
In a statement released on Thursday, the organization stressed the importance of uncovering the truth to clarify the situation.
Afenifere highlighted that, in the interest of fairness and justice, revealing the facts is essential to uphold Nigeria’s reputation internationally, especially as various media outlets and foreign parliaments have shown keen interest in the issue.
Recalls that Senator Natasha had accused the Senate President of sexual harassment. The Senate subsequently imposed a six-month suspension on her for violating its rules.
Following the expiration of her suspension, Natasha has returned to the Senate to resume her legislative duties.
Some months ago, Afenifere had urged that the truth of the matter be established.
With her return, the pan-Yoruba group is insisting that the AGF, Senate, and the country’s security agencies need to examine the matter thoroughly to uncover the real truth.
“We, at Afenifere, received the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s resolve to end a six-month suspension it placed on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan over a proven breach of its Rules of Procedure with mixed feelings.
“For us, restoring her does not mean we should put all her claims behind us without subjecting them to judicial interpretation,” the group said.
