Florence Ita-Giwa
You’ve gone far past stage of sexual harassment, Ita-Giwa tells Natasha
Former Presidential Adviser, Senator Florence Ita-Giwa has told Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan she is far gone past the stage where she can be sexually harassed.
Senator Natasha had alleged that she was sexually harassed by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, leading to her denial of rights and privileges due to her office as Senator of the Federal Republic.
Ita-Giwa, who spoke on Arise TV, insisted that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, from Kogi State, is beyond the stage of making such allegations.
Ita-Giwa said women cannot be sexually harassed when they become senators.
According to her, “By the time you contest elections and get to Senate, you have passed that stage of your life of being sexually harassed.
“You go there to serve, and you are all equal in that place. And again, it shows weakness; you don’t allow it. It (sexual harassment) can not happen in the Senate.
“I am not saying the lady is lying, but when you get to the Senate, you’re there as a person. You’re not there as a woman.
“At that stage in politics, if you come out and say someone is sexually harassing you, it is a weakness.”
