She added that she is being victimized because she did not give in.

Akpabio’s wife released a statement defending her husband and sued Natasha for defaming her husband.

On Saturday, March 1st, 2025, Uduaghan, the Alema of Warri Kingdom, also defended his wife.

He said his wife Natasha had confided in him about her interactions with the senate president and he met with him, yet nothing changed.

“I personally met with the Senate President and respectfully urged him to extend the courtesy and respect my wife deserves, while also honouring the friendship between us. We reached an understanding and agreed to resolve the issue amicably,

However, despite this agreement, my wife continues to express concerns about the h@rassment she has endured from the Senate President.” he stated.

Uduaghan continued to say that he has unwavering faith in my wife’s loyalty and is fully committed to their marriage, which is grounded in love, compassion, and mutual respect.

He respectfully urged the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Senate President to treat his beloved wife with the respect and dignity she truly deserves while the relevant authorities and the court determine the underlying issues.
