Senator Peter Nwaebonyi has sparked outrage following his controversial remarks about Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan after her suspension from the Senate. In a video shared by News Central TV, Nwaebonyi questioned Natasha’s influence, saying, “Does she think she is the most beautiful woman on earth? In my own assessment, she’s not among the beautiful women in Nigeria, and it is high time we come hard on her.”
His comments have drawn sharp criticism on social media, with many calling him out for perceived misogyny and personal attacks instead of addressing the allegations at hand. Some netizens linked his statement to Senator Natasha’s petition against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, which accused him of misconduct. Others suggested Nwaebonyi was attempting to obstruct an investigation into alleged sexual harassment against Natasha.
Social media users expressed their anger, calling for his recall and questioning why he would focus on Natasha’s looks instead of the political issues at stake. Many criticized the Nigerian political system for allowing such comments to go unchallenged, while others saw his remarks as an attempt to intimidate female politicians.
