Senate President Godswill Akpabio has revealed that he spent the night inside the Dangote Cement factory in Obajana, Kogi State, on the wedding day of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs emphasised his close relationship with Natasha’s family, describing her husband as a good friend.
He noted that his presence at their wedding was a testament to their bond.
“I slept in Dangote Cement factory in Obajana, Kogi State, on the night of Senator Natasha’s wedding because the Kogi airport lights were in a poor state,” Akpabio stated.
Tribune Online reports that the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions has suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for six months after her heated exchange with Senate President Godswill Akpabio over seat arrangements.
Following the ruling, she was escorted out of the chamber by the Sergeant-at-Arms.
