As the Senate continues to navigate the sexual harassment allegation leveled against its President, Godswill Akpabio, by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, a former Member of the Senate.
Shehu Sani has given a reason as to why one of the four female Senators in the house, Senator Ireti Kingibe, may not have spoken up in defence of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.
In a post shared on his Facebook page, Sani wrote
‘’Some people are attacking Senator Ireti for not standing up to fight in the Senate.She is already being fought at home by the Fct Minister.If she now picks another battle in the Senate,She will be at war both front and back.What will be left of her in that situation.You have to put yourself in her shoes to understand her predicament.There are moments you have to choose the battles to fight and the ones to defer.If Ireti fights on both sides,She will be loved by the social media but her constituents will revolt against her that “We didn’t send you to fight,we send you to bring something to us and help us”.
Politics is intriguing.”
In the wake of the sexual harassment allegations, some Nigerians have criticized Senator Kingibe for failing to support and defend her fellow female colleague, Senator Natasha.
