Popular musician, Seun Kuti has dragged female celebrities and feminists in Nigeria for abandoning Senator Natasha Akpoti amidst sexual harassment saga.
Recall that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of making persistent sexual advances toward her.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan alleged that Akpabio’s antagonism toward her stemmed from her refusal to yield to his advances, both within and outside the country.
Seun Kuti slammed women for supporting Annie Idibia when she had issues with 2Baba, but failed to support Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
He said, “About the sexual harassment case in the senate, I stand with the Senator [Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan] 100 per cent.
“Because she isn’t even the first one to make such allegation [against the Senate President]. It’s appalling that all these so-called women activists are all quiet.
“They have something to say about Burna Boy’s alleged reneged promise to Sophia Egbueje but shy away from important matters…
“These kinds of things cannot continue in this country. What that woman [Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan] is saying is very serious. And the celebrities will not come out to support her in this kind of matter, the way everybody had something to say to defend Annie against 2face.
“Many of these celebrities, especially Nollywood actors and actresses are benefiting from the government through fraudulent grants so they can never come out to speak on this kind of matter…. I can’t openly protest to demand justice for Natasha but I implore Nigerian women to support her.
