The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has said the Senate is taking the necessary steps over the sexual harassment allegations by the Kogi Central senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
While reacting to the raging issue in Abuja on Thursday, Mrs Tinubu, a former senator, said that the Senate, the apex legislative chamber in the country, should not be where such things should happen.

“I know what is going on in the Senate; you will say why am I not taking a position; I believe that the Senate is doing what is needful.
‘This is because the Senate is a mature chamber and it should be treated with respect.
