Dr. Oby Ezekwesili Demands Fair Hearing For Senator Natasha Akpoti Over Alleged Sexual Harassment
A human rights activists and the Founder of Human Cap Africa and Fix Politics Nigeria Dr Oby Ezekwesili had raised an alarming warning to the Federal government of Nigeria over the alleged denial of fair hearing of the embattled Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Note that there had been ongoing case of alleged sexual harassment between the Senate President Goodwill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti representing Kogi Central federal constituency; which is still unresolved.
On this pending matter, Dr Oby Ezekwesili wrote in her x official account @obyezeks and said:
“Will I ever stop holding our Governments, Politicians and Public Officials to standards of Public Accountability?
The answer is Impossible and Can’t which together form the poetically licensed word:
Impossicant.
No amount of insults can ever make me stop demanding Accountability in our Democracy.
Here’s the thing.
Nigerians only finally got to see a physical version of the barrage of online insults and cyber-bullying that I get daily from hirelings of politicians and governments.
They want all of us to be quiet, endorse and enable their Bad Governance, Selfish Behaviors. Injustice and Criminality.
Those who have been on social media since 2014 and followed activities on my handle would probably be surprised that anyone is shocked at the invectives thrown at me at that Senate Session.
The ally-internet-trolls of Politicians and the 3 administrations of @NigeriaGov that have governed between 2014 to date have actually called me worse things on here and elsewhere.
I hardly dignify insults because they really are like water on the back of a duck.
Eyes on the Ball.
Senator @NatashaAkpoti must be given a fair hearing by the @NGRSenate on her petition against the Senate President @Senator_Akpabio for Sexual Harassment.
All the shenanigans being thrown out to prevent this will fail. Senator Uduaghan has the legitimacy conferred on her by the Good People of Kogi Central.
No fraudulent recall will prevail over the will of the people who genuinely believe in her representation of their interests at the Senate. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
In similar topic, sanator Natasha Akpoti had on 6th March established an online protest tagged “This Injustice Will Not Be Sustained” through her x official account @NatashaAkpoti”
She wrote:
Against the culture of silence, intimidation and victim-shaming; my unjust suspension from the Nigerian Senate invalidates the principles of natural justice, fairness and equity.
The illegal suspension does not withdraw my legitimacy as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I will continue to use my duly elected position to serve my constituents and country to the best of my ability till 2027 … and beyond.
Senator @NatashaAkpoti Uduaghan
Proudly Kogi Central,
Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬
