“The petition is in my name against the president of the Nigerian Senate, His Excellency, Senator Godswill Akpabio for sexual harassment, abuse of office, and malicious obstruction of my legislative functions
“You may recall, sir that on Friday in Arise TV, I did made some statements. And I have decided to narrow these statements in a formal petition against the President of the Senate.
“So, if it may please you, I will humbly step forward and lay this petition,” Senator Natasha said before proceeding to lay the petition.
“You may proceed,” Senator Akpabio, who presided over the plenary, said before Senator Natasha laid the petition.
It would be recalled that reports the Senate President subsequently referred the petition to the Senate committee on code of conduct, ethics and public petitions to revert as soon as practicable.
