Nigerian politician, Mohammed Abdullahi, has urged Senate President Godswill Akpabio to address head-on the serious allegations of sexual harassment brought against him by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and others, rather than relying on hired blackmailers and image launderers to deflect public scrutiny.

Abdullahi pointed to the recent involvement of one Professor Mgbake, whose contradictory statements and questionable conduct during her so-called exposé on Senator Natasha.

He noted that while Mgbake publicly denied any link to the Senate President, she contradicted herself by revealing Senator Akpabio’s private phone number during her media attacks—an action that, according to Abdullahi, not only exposes her deceit but also suggests coordination.

He described her role in the ongoing media campaign as a calculated effort to distract from the real issues and shield the Senate President from accountability.

Abdullahi expressed concern over Akpabio’s reliance on individuals with a known track record of dubious conduct to defend him in the court of public opinion.

He noted that Professor Mgbake, who recently launched a smear campaign against Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State on Facebook.

“Rather than defend himself with honour, Akpabio has chosen to hide behind people whose public records are smeared with controversy and criminal allegations,” Abdullahi said.

Abdullahi also questioned the authenticity of the academic credentials being paraded by Professor Mgbake, noting that her so-called professorship remains shrouded in doubt.

“It is unfortunate that a matter as sensitive and serious as sexual harassment is being reduced to a media circus involving paid agents and individuals who themselves lack public trust,” he added.

He urged Senator Akpabio to face the allegations with the courage expected of a national leader l

“This is about integrity and accountability. No Nigerian—no matter how highly placed—should be above scrutiny. The Senate President must rise to the occasion and prove his innocence through facts, not hired propaganda,” Abdullahi stated.
