The Kogi born senator made the allegation on Friday while fielding questions on Arise Television Morning Show programme.
Shehu Sani, a former Nigerian lawmaker, has described as unfortunate the issue between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Sani said it is unfortunate the issue has become about “bed”.
The statement comes after Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Akpabio of sexual harassment.
The Kogi born senator made the allegation on Friday while fielding questions on Arise Television Morning Show programme.
Akpoti-Uduaghan alleged that Akpabio blocked her motions from being heard on the floor of the red chamber because she rejected his advances.
However, Akpabio denied the allegation through his media consultant, Kenny Okulogbo.
Reacting to the development, Sani, in a post on his X handle on Friday called for caution and restraint.
“It’s unfortunate that the Senate issue was simply about seat and now about bed. Need for caution and restraint,” Sani said.
