Nigerians share their thoughts after Senator Natasha accused SP Akpabio of sexual harrassment. Photo credit: SenAkpabio/SenNatasha/XSource: TwitterPublic outcry over sexual harassment allegationI wanted to say something about Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghans explosive allegation of sexual harassment against SP Godswill Akpabio but I remembered that Donald Trump, a man who confessed on tape to sexually harassing women and has been found liable for rape, is our president in America and the words returned to my belly. Whats going on in America is an all-purpose alibi and exculpatory factor for Nigerian political offenders.Sen. Natasha is making very very serious allegations against Akpabio. In a sane society, Akpabio would first tender his resignation.Mixed reactions to the allegationIs there any law that stop Senator Akpabio from flirting?Before you get your hopes high sha, 1- Nothing will happen to Akpabio 2- Natashas colleagues in the Senate & her party would be used to antagonize her. 3- Senators will get money. 4- Your noise on social media doesnt matter, You are one scandal away from moving on. Enjoy!Calls for investigation gain momentumA female senator, Natasha, just made grave allegations of sexual harassment against the senate president, Godswill Akpabio, on national TV, and I believe her. I BELIEVE HER like mad. In a sane country, Godswill should tender his resignation tomorrow, but Nigeria is a den of corruption. I hope the family of Natasha is safe though.I was a HO in Uyo in 2017 when Akpabio was Senator, he was accused of sexual harassment by a ward secretary, in 2020 as a Minister he was accused of sexual harassment by Joy Nunieh then acting MD NDDC. No smoke without fire, I stand with Senator Natasha. Investigate Akpabio now.Demands for resignation and legal scrutinyIf Senator Natashas claim is true, Akpabio should resign as both Senate President and Senator.Senator Akpabio is known by some Nigerians as a person that likes to crack jokes. All this allegations can be treated as merely joking with Natasha in the law court.What Happens Next?7 things to know about Natasha
