The ongoing feud between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan took a new turn on Saturday as her husband, Chief Emmanuel Uduaghan, called on Akpabio to treat his wife with the respect and dignity she deserves.

Uduaghan, the Alema of Warri Kingdom, stated in a press release that while he had initially refrained from commenting, recent developments had compelled him to speak out.

“I would never trade her for anything, as she is the greatest joy of my life,” he declared, emphasising that the dispute was distracting from more pressing issues.

Describing her as a devoted wife and a person of integrity, Uduaghan disclosed that Natasha had confided in him about her interactions with Akpabio, whom he regarded as a family friend. In response, he said he approached the matter with maturity and diplomacy, seeking to foster peace.
