Sexual Harassment Saga: What Will Akpabio Tell His Wife At Home?

In the corridors of power, where politics meets personal life, one question lingers as Senate President Godswill Akpabio returns home today: What will he tell his wife?

The allegations of sexual harassment leveled against him by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan have stirred controversy, casting a shadow over his leadership. But beyond the legal and political battles, there is a home—a private space where he must face his wife, Unoma Akpabio, who has already taken a public stand in his defense.

When he steps through the door, the air will be thick with unspoken questions. “How was your day?” may not be a simple inquiry but a test of endurance. Will he sigh, loosen his tie, and say, “It was another stormy day at the Senate, but I stood firm”? Or will he attempt humor to deflect the tension, assuring her that politics is a battlefield where truth and perception are often at odds?

Unoma Akpabio, having spoken up to defend him, may look at him not just as her husband but as a man whose name is now entangled in a scandal that refuses to fade. “Did you handle it well?” she might ask, seeking reassurance that her public loyalty was not in vain.

Will he tell her that the Senate, despite all its chaos, remains under his control? That his authority was not shaken? That Natasha’s case, controversial as it is, will not define his legacy? Or will he allow a moment of vulnerability, admitting that no matter how powerful one is, the court of public opinion remains unforgiving?

Perhaps he will remind her that history is filled with accusations against men in power—some true, some fabricated. “This too shall pass,” he may say, reaching for the comfort of old political wisdom.

But deep down, as he sits at the dinner table, as the noise of the world fades into the silence of home, Akpabio may find himself asking the one question no title or position can shield him from: “Did I truly do enough to clear my name?”

And as his wife watches him, waiting for an answer, only he will know if the words he speaks tonight are meant for her—or for the man in the mirror.
