‘I Once Met Akpabio To Stop Harassing My Wife’, Natasha’s Husband Speaks Out

The Alema of Warri Kingdom and husband of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, High Chief Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan, has broken his silence over the raging feud between his wife and Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, affirming that he once met the latter over the harassment of his spouse.

Chief Uduaghan said his intervention became necessary following ‘sentiments’ being stirred up unnecessarily, distracting from the serious underlying allegations, which should concern every discerning individual with sound family values.

In a statement personally signed by the businessman on Saturday night, he said he met Akpabio for respite after his wife, who is the Senator representing Kogi Central in the Senate, confided in him about her plight in the Senate under the Senate President.

“I had initially resolved to refrain from commenting on the ongoing dispute between my beloved wife, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, and the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio. However, recent developments have compelled me to issue this statement. It is clear that certain sentiments are being stirred up unnecessarily, distracting from the serious underlying allegations, which should concern every discerning individual with sound family values.

“Without prejudice to the ongoing legal proceedings, I wish to emphasize that my wife was duly elected by her people due to the immense love, respect, and confidence they have in her and she is committed to delivery quality representation to her district and the Nation at large. She is a devoted wife, and the bond we share is deep and unwavering. She has always remained truthful, even in the face of adversity.

“My wife has confided in me about her interactions with the Senate President, whom I considered a family friend. In response, I approached the matter with the utmost maturity and responsibility, as it is my duty as a traditional leader who has immense respect for constituted authority and upholds core family values, foster peace and harmony. I personally met with the Senate President and respectfully urged him to extend the courtesy and respect my wife deserves, while also honouring the friendship between us. We reached an understanding and agreed to resolve the issue amicably.

“However, despite this agreement, my wife continues to express concerns about the harassment she has endured from the Senate President.

“I have unwavering faith in my wife’s loyalty and am fully committed to our marriage, which is grounded in love, compassion, and mutual respect. I would never trade her for anything, as she is the greatest joy of my life.

“I now respectfully urge the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Senate President to treat my beloved wife with the respect and dignity she truly deserves while the relevant authorities and the court determine the underlying issues,” Chief Uduaghan stated.
