Akpabio Orders Withdrawal Of All Lawsuits Against Senator Natasha, Others

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has directed his lawyers to withdraw all pending court cases against Senator Natasha and other individuals.

Akpabio announced the decision during a New Year service at Sacred Heart Parish in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. He revealed that he had instituted nearly nine lawsuits against people he accused of defaming and slandering him.

He said his stance changed after listening to the priest’s sermon at the service, which he described as a personal message to him.

“I had almost nine cases in court against some individuals who defamed me, who lied against me and slandered my name. But as I listened to the priest, I suddenly realised he was speaking to me,” Akpabio said.

The Senate President explained that the message led him to forgive those involved, prompting his decision to discontinue all legal actions.

“Therefore, I hereby direct my solicitors to withdraw all lawsuits against them,” he stated.
