The First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, says the senate
is taking the necessary steps over the sexual harassment allegations by Sen.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
While reacting to the raging issue in Abuja on
Thursday, Mrs Tinubu said that the senate, being the apex legislative chamber
in the country, should not be a place where such things should happen.
“I know what is going on in the Senate; you will say
why am I not taking a position; I believe that the senate is doing what is
needful.
‘This is because the senate is a mature chamber and it
should be treated with respect.
“It is also an honour for anyone who happens to be
there; I was there for 12 years,” she said.
Meanwhile, the senate has suspended Akpoti-Uduaghan
over what it called ‘total violation of the Senate Standing Rules 2023, as
amended’.
This was sequel to the presentation of the report of
the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, led by Sen.
