Senate Drama Unfolded: A Verbal Clash Between Nwaebonyi And Ezekwesili

Tensions Flare Up in the Senate Ethics Committee

It was a day of high drama in the Senate Ethics Committee on Tuesday as they gathered to address a serious petition of harassment. This petition was filed against none other than the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, by Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The room was filled with anticipation and tension, setting the stage for what would become a heated exchange.

Naija News was on the scene and reported that this fiery clash between Senator Onyekachi Nwaebonyi and former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, arose when Ezekwesili's team was asked to take an oath in accordance with Senate rules. But here’s the twist—Ezekwesili and her team flat-out refused. They insisted that their concerns be addressed and their requests met before they would agree to take the oath.

Words Escalate Into a Verbal Sparring Match

As the situation unfolded, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. The disagreement escalated into a full-blown verbal sparring match between Nwaebonyi and Ezekwesili. It wasn’t just a difference of opinion; it was a battle of words and accusations that left everyone in the room on edge.

Ezekwesili wasted no time in calling out Nwaebonyi, labeling him as a disgrace to the Senate. Her words were sharp and direct: "You are a disgrace to the Senate," she declared, her voice cutting through the room like a knife. It was clear she wasn’t holding back.

Not one to take such remarks lying down, Senator Nwaebonyi fired back with equal intensity. He didn’t just challenge Ezekwesili; he went straight for the jugular. "You are a fool. I said you are a fool. What do you mean? How dare you talk to me like that. You are an insult to womanhood. That is why you can never be here. People like you can never be here. You are a hooligan," he shot back, his tone laced with indignation and anger.

Senator Natasha Denies Allegations

Amidst all the drama, Naija News reported that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan categorically denied receiving ₦500 million from Senate President Akpabio. She wasn’t about to let false accusations stand without a fight. In a clear and concise statement, she addressed the baseless claims head-on.

“Let me be clear: I have never received ₦500 million or any amount from Senator Akpabio. At no time did I make any statement suggesting such. This is nothing but a deliberate falsehood aimed at causing unnecessary controversy,” she asserted in her statement on Tuesday. Her words carried weight, a strong denial backed by conviction.
