In response to the allegations linking him with multiple side chicks, Senate President Godswill Akpabio vehemently denied the claims, asserting, “I have only one wife and she is enough for me.”
He addressed the controversy directly, refuting any involvement in supporting the lifestyles of other women mentioned in the circulated list, which included public figures such as Ini Edo, Hilda Baci, Nancy Isime and host of others.
In a similar vein, apologized to his colleague, Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, over comments he made while shutting her down during plenary last week.
The Senate President had told Akpoti-Uduaghan not to speak without him recognizing her to do so. Adding, the Senate is not a “nightclub”.

His comments caused a storm on social media with various women’s groups calling him out for being sexist and insulting women.

In his apology, which he tendered during Tuesday’s plenary, Akpabio said he would never intentionally denigrate any woman.

He said, “I will not intentionally denigrate any woman and I always pray that God will uplift women.

“Distinguished Senator Natasha, I want to apologise to you.

“The interest shown In the social media shows that we have enemies. I felt I should tender a public apology to you. I do not mean any harm. People should concentrate on things that will move this country forward

“Social media handlers should practice with decorum. We won’t out of anger regulate social media.”
