Former Bayelsa East Senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, has insisted that Senate President Godswill Akpabio is a man of impeccable character.
Murray-Bruce’s remark comes amid allegations of sexual
harassment and corruption against Akpabio by Kogi Central Senator, Natasha
Akpoti-Uduaghan and former Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate,
Atiku Abubakar.
Natasha had alleged that Akpabio frustrated and victimized
her for turning down his sexual advances. The allegations led to her
suspension.
Amid Natasha’s claims, Atiku also described Akpabio as a
corrupt leader with a snack for abusing women.
Countering such claims, Murray Bruce said the South south
and Nigeria are fortunate to have Akpabio as Senate President.
Posting on X, Murray Bruce Ben said Akpabio has been
investigated severally by various agencies and has been found clean.
He said, “I know Senator Godswill Akpabio personally and
intimately. He is a man of unimpeachable good character, and both the
South-South and Nigeria are fortunate to have him at the helm of affairs at the
National Assembly at this delicate stage in our national growth.
“On the issue of corruption, here we have a man who has been
investigated in and out by independent investigative agencies and friends and
foes alike, yet he has come out clean as a whistle.
“Nigeria needs stability and men of ability, and it behoves
us as a nation to tread with caution at this critical time of our national
life. Institutions such as the Legislature should not be trifled with because
of partisan considerations.
“I will not stand idly by while some persons try, both home
and abroad, to destroy an institution I was once proudly a part of.
“I am a Nigerian, who is proud of Nigeria, and will give my
all to protect and project my country to the world.
“I give him my right hand of fellowship and stand firmly
with him.”
