Umahi Addresses Sexual Harassment Allegations Against Akpoti

On Saturday, Governor Dave Umahi responded to allegations of sexual harassment involving Natasha Akpoti, a senator from Kogi Central. He expressed that his face would be bolder if the accusations were directed at him, asserting that no one has harassed him during his eight years in office.

Umahi stated that he has never been accused wrongly unless someone is mischievous. He emphasized the importance of addressing such serious claims responsibly, particularly in the context of social media, which he believes diverts attention from significant issues, such as the ongoing war in Iran.

Umahi's comments were made in light of criticism directed at him for allegedly refusing to hire a woman who rejected sexual advances. He thanked those who understand the situation, indicating that he has maintained a harassment-free environment in his administration.
