A former lawmaker who represented Cross-River South Senatorial District, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, has asserted it is a sign of weakness for female senators to accuse a male colleague of sexual harassment.
Papers News recalls that the Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial district, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, recently accused the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, of frustrating her moves to raise motions about Ajaokuta Steel Company in Kogi State because she refused to sleep with him.
However, while reacting to Natasha’s sexual allegation against Akpabio, Ita-Giwa, during an interview on Arise TV on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, said once women are elected into the Senate, they cannot be sexually harassed or claim to be sexually harassed.
