”Beauty is her problem” – Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe blames Senator Natasha for her suspension

Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, blames Senator Natasha for the ongoing issue at the Senate, saying one of the problems is her beauty, which men find difficult to ignore.

While speaking on Arise News on Monday, 10th March 2025, Ogunlewe remarked that female senators do not consider themselves inferior to men and often assert themselves in political discussions.

However, he opined that Senator Natasha’s physical appearance puts her in trouble in a way that affects how men react to her.

“The female senators did not look at themselves as if they were inferior to men. They were even up to the task. If you even mention that Itadewa is a woman, the response you are going to get will make you ashamed of yourself because they will stand up to you,” he said.

Referring to Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, he added, “But the beauty of Distinguished Senator Natasha is a problem to her.”

When asked, “How can beauty be a problem?”,Ogunlewe said

“You know men, when somebody who is pretty passes by you, your attitude will change. You can smile, you can wink, but you may not talk to her. But her beauty is a problem, there’s no doubt about that.”

He defended himself by stating that it is natural for men to notice attractive women.

“It is a natural thing for a man to look at beautiful women. How can you be a man and a beautiful woman is passing, and you close your eyes?”

Despite being questioned on whether his views were misogynistic, Ogunlewe insisted that his observations were based on natural human tendencies.
