Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has come out to take responsibility for the verbal outburst directed at former Education Minister and former Vice President for the World Bank (Africa region), Obiageli Ezekwesili, by the Ebonyi State lawmaker Onyekachi Nwaebonyi.
During the Senate hearing regarding the sexual harassment allegation against the President of the 10th Senate, Godswill Obot Akpabio, Ezekwesili had told Nwaebonyi to “shut up,” sparking outrage from him, who went overboard with his words.
