Natasha Akpoti never accused me of s3xual misconduct – Fayemi

Former Ekiti State governor Kayode Fayemi has dismissed a media report claiming that Senator Cyril Fasuyi (APC, Ekiti North) alleged during Wednesdays Senate plenary that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Fayemi of s3xual harassment. In a statement issued by Ahmad Sajoh, Head of the Fayemi Media Office, the claim was described as inaccurate and a misrepresentation of Fasuyis actual remarks. Our attention has been drawn to a news report published by The Cable regarding an alleged statement made by Senator Cyril Fasuyi during todays Senate plenary, the statement read. Sajoh clarified that a review of the plenary proceedings confirmed that Fasuyi never made such an allegation. Instead, he said the senator referenced past disputes between Akpoti-Uduaghan and Fayemi concerning the Ajaokuta Steel Company during Fayemis tenure as Minister of Mines and Steel Development. For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to reiterate that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghanor anyone else, for that matterhas never accused Dr. Fayemi of any form of s3xual misconduct, the statement added. Dr. Fayemi has always upheld the highest standards of integrity in public service, and we strongly reject any attempt by the media to associate his name with baseless and damaging allegations. The former governor also distanced himself from the ongoing controversy in the Senate, emphasising that his past interactions with Akpoti-Uduaghan were strictly professional and based on policy differences rather than personal disputes. Sajoh urged the media to verify facts before publication and avoid sensationalism that could damage reputations and erode public trust. The post Natasha Akpoti never accused me of s3xual misconduct – Fayemi appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
