Godswill Akpabio, the senate president, has denied rumours that he is having extra-marital affairs.
On Sunday, a blog had listed names of some female
celebrities, claiming they are Akpabio’s “side chicks”.
Speaking on the matter on the floor of the red chamber on
Tuesday, Akpabio said “I don’t merit” the allegations.
The 61-year-old senate president said Ekaette Akpabio is his
“only wife and I am satisfied with her”.
Akpabio also described his wife as a “beautiful and loving
woman”.
“Social media handlers should practice with decorum. We
won’t out of anger regulate social media,” he said.
“They went into private abuses, I don’t want to say what
they did to me because I don’t merit it. In my tradition we marry only one
wife. They listed so many wives on social media.
”At the end, it will look as if the Senate president has so
many wives, but I am reporting to my colleagues that I have only one and I am
satisfied with that one.”
Akpabio also apologised to Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, senator
representing Kogi central, over some remarks he made.
Last week, Akpoti-Uduaghan had spoken without being
recognised by Akpabio. The senate president told her not to speak like she was
in a “night club”.
Akpabio said after the incident, his “phone crashed” and his
wife was bombarded with calls, most of them *insults”.
“My wife called me
that people got angry and they published her number. She receives over 2,000 to
3,000 phone calls a day,” he said.
Earlier, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, the actress, denied having
an affair with Akpabio.
The movie star described the allegations as a “very wicked
lie”, adding that she has never met the senate president.
