A former lawmaker representing Cross-River South Senatorial District, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, has come down hard on
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for alleging that she was sexually harassed by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, saying it shows signs of weakness on her part.
Truth Live News Media reports that in her response to the sexual harassment claim on Arise TV, Ita-Giwa, said that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is beyond the stage of making such allegations.
In her words” women cannot be sexually harassed when they become senators.
“By the time you contest elections and get to Senate, you have passed that stage of your life of being sexually harassed.
“You go there to serve, and you are all equal in that place. And again, it shows weakness; you don’t allow it. It (sexual harassment) can not happen in the Senate.
“I am not saying the lady is lying, but when you get to the Senate, you’re there as a person. You’re not there as a woman.
“At that stage in politics, if you come out and say someone is sexually harassing you, it is a weakness,” .
