Natasha: Why I Told Him to Shut up — Ezekwesili breaks silence after confrontation with Senator Nwebonyi

Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has detailed her confrontation with Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi during the Senate committee hearing regarding sexual harassment allegations made by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Ezekwesili said there was a lot of rigmarole, indicating that the committee was trying to make things difficult for the petitioner.

According to her, Nwebonyi, on his part, claimed that the petitioner and the people with her were not serious about giving any testimony.

Ezekwesili said that she, in turn, told the Ebonyi senator to shut up.

METROWATCH reported that Nwebonyi, representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District, and Ezekwesili had a heated verbal clash on Tuesday.

The confrontation occurred during an Ethics Committee hearing on sexual harassment allegations involving suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

During the altercation, Senator Nwebonyi was heard telling Dr. Ezekwesili, “You are an insult to womanhood, you are a disgrace to womanhood. People like you can never be here.”

However, while speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme on Tuesday, the ex-Minister gave more details about what transpired during the Senate hearing.

Ezekwesili said: “There was a lot of rigmarole and all the senators were doing in that committee was to let us know that the rules would make it difficult for the right of a citizen who was saying that, number one, I object on the basis of the fact that members of this Senate, especially the chair, at various times, had already taken public positions on the petition of my senator. I am her constituent, and I feel injured by what has happened.”
