The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has claimed he spent the night in the Dangote Cement factory in Obajana, Kogi State, on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s wedding day.
Akpabio stated this on Thursday during plenary at the National Assembly.
The former Governor of Akwa-Ibom described Natasha’s husband as his good friend, stressing that his attendance at their wedding signifies his closeness to the family.
He said he slept in the factory because the Kogi airport lights were in a poor state.
The Senate President made the disclosure while reacting to the recommendations by the Senate Committee Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions.
