Niger Delta Groups to Natasha: Your outburst against Senate President Akpabio is shameful, unwomanly
A coalition of groups from the six states of the Niger Delta region has reached out to the husband of the lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, over her outburst against Senate President Senator Godswill Akpabio during Senate plenary on Thursday.
According to the groups, made up of youth organizations, women, and political groups under the aegis of Niger Delta Renaissance, the “uncultured” and “shameful display of womanhood” by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is an insult to the people of the region and will no longer be tolerated.
The convener of the groups, High Chief Fidelis Akanah, at an emergency meeting held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Thursday argued that Senator Natasha’s husband, who is also the Alema of Warri, Chief Emmanuel Uduaghan, should tender an unreserved apology to Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The display of his wife, the senator, showed a disgraceful and unrestrained display against the menfolk in Kogi, Delta, and the entire Niger Delta region.
According to Akanah, “The utterances of Senator Natasha are expected. Natasha is a woman, and a woman cannot raise her voice against a respected political figure such as Senator Akpabio. It is taboo for a woman to have such impetus to disregard and insult a man, let alone the Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
The members of the Niger Delta Renaissance also questioned the source of her boldness, wondering whether it comes from the marine world or politics. “We are ready to support all efforts to put Senator Natasha in her place.”
High Chief Fidelis Akanah also called on the Alema of Warri, Chief Emmanuel Uduaghan, to tender an unreserved apology to the Senate President and tame his wife. “If he does not call his wife to order, we would consider him a woman wrapper that is remotely controlled by a woman.”
Another female member of the group, Madam Eunice Olisah from Delta State, described the attitude and utterances of Senator Natasha against Senate President Godswill Akpabio as a sign of a poorly cultured woman.
Madam Eunice Olisah said that Senator Natasha’s outburst is uncalled for and that the proper character of a woman is not defined by beauty but by what comes from her mouth in terms of presentation and character.
