Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has said that he slept in a hotel located within the premises of the Dangote Cement factory in Obajana, Kogi State when Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan wedded her heartthrob, Mr Emmanuel Uduaghan.
Speaking at the plenary during the suspension of the Kogi Senator, Akpabio said: “The person we are talking about here is the wife of my very good friend, or so I thought.
“I slept in Dangote Cement Factory in Obajana, Kogi State on the night of Senator Natasha’s wedding because the Kogi airport lights were in a poor state.”
The former governor disclosed that as the Senate President, his responsibility is to protect the institution, relying on the rules.
“The rules give me the power to give a ruling on points of order. I’m in the best position to interpret the rules of the Senate,” he added.
In the same vein, the Leader of the Senate, Opeyemi Bamidele, denied threatening Akpoti-Uduaghan during a midnight conversation with her and challenged security agencies to investigate his claims.
