The Chairperson of the Labour Party in Rivers State, Hilda Dokubo, has said that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s claim against Senate President Godswill Akpabio is true. She stated that every senator, including Akpabio, knows the truth but refuses to admit it.
Speaking in an interview on Wednesday, Dokubo criticized those attacking Natasha over her past marriages. She argued that instead of dismissing the claims, Akpabio should have apologized and clarified his words. She also defended Natasha’s emotional reaction, saying it was normal for someone speaking about a personal and painful experience.
Dokubo further accused senators of covering up the truth and downplaying issues of harassment. She noted that many people refuse to believe victims until it’s too late. According to her, a simple apology from Akpabio would have settled the matter instead of allowing the controversy to continue.
