Ita Giwa, a former lawmaker representing Cross River South Senatorial District, has berated the approach of the senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti, to the alleged sexual harassment against senate president, Godswill Akpabio.
She noted that the senate is not an avenue for sexual harassment, stressing that Natasha was weak as a woman to have experienced such.
She said, “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.”
“On this matter, I am not with Senator Akpoti. It is the worst sign of weakness on a woman’s part to come out and accuse a man of making passes at you at that level”.
