The Senate has explained why it is yet to commence an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment leveled against Senate President Godswill Akpabio by the senator representing Kogi Central, Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, saying there is no formal petition before it.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Media and Publicity, Sen. Yemi Adaramodu, who disclosed this while speaking on Arise Television on Monday night, said without a formal petition, there is no way the Senate can begin the process of probing Akpabio.
According to Adaramodu, the Senate can only commence a probe of the Senate President if Akpoti-Uduaghan submits a formal petition before the Senate Committee on Ethics Privileges, and Public Petitions for investigation, as the Senate does not conduct its internal affairs based on what is trending on social media.
