‘What a Joke’ – Atiku’s Aide Criticizes Akpabio’s Wife Over Natasha’s Allegations

The wife of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Unoma, has come under fire from Phrank Shaibu, the Special Adviser on Public Communication to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2023 presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, for defending her husband against Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti’s claims of sexual harassment.
According to reports, the Senate’s decision to rearrange the MPs’ seating arrangements on the Upper Legislative chamber floor set off the drama.
After the reorganization, Natasha and Akpabio got into a fight, during which the former said she had no fear of the Senate President.
The legislator said that Akpabio had made sexual approaches on her in an interview on Arise TV on Friday, February 28, 2025. She also said that her motion was turned down because she would not bow to the Senate president.

According to Natasha, her predicament is comparable to a student failing an exam because she wouldn’t have sex with her lecturer.

Speaking to reporters in Abuja on Friday, Unoma responded to the accusation by saying Natasha was defaming her husband and “creating content for personal gains.”

She added that Akpabio and Natasha’s husband are close friends and called the accusation degrading.

The Senate President’s wife characterized her husband as a cheerful and disciplined individual who is frequently misunderstood.

Shaibu responded in a post on 𝕏, calling Unoma’s claim that Natasha’s husband would have gotten in touch with her on the matter a joke.

“So, madam, do you really think that High Chief Emmanuel Uduaghan, the esteemed Alema of Warri Kingdom, ought to have personally contacted her to bemoan the fact that the “Uncommon Transformer” had naughty intentions toward his wife?” he had written.

“Is the account of @@NatashaAkpoti fraudulent because he didn’t call to tell your husband wanted to f*ck his wife? What a farce.
