Former Senate President, Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has sharply criticized current Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, for allegedly politicizing and trivializing calls for a transparent investigation into accusations made by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Saraki condemned Akpabio’s comments suggesting that the calls for an investigation were politically motivated to target a Niger Delta leader. Saraki stressed that his focus was never on Akpabio’s resignation but rather on the need for an unbiased, open investigation into serious allegations of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and abuse of office.

Saraki pointed out that the integrity of the Senate and its processes must not be compromised, emphasizing the importance of a transparent probe. He also warned Akpabio against exploiting ethnic or political divisions, urging him to prioritize justice and due process over personal interests.

The former Senate President reiterated that the allegations raised by Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan should be addressed with utmost transparency to ensure that justice is not only served but seen to be served. Saraki’s call for accountability in the Senate is a reminder of the importance of maintaining trust in the legislative body and upholding the values of fairness and equality.
