The former NDDC Managing Director, Joi Nunieh accused the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio, of sexual harassment.
Nunieh narrated this on Monday during an interview on Arise TV, Nunieh said that the incident happened at Akpabio’s guest house in Abuja.
“Why did he not tell Nigerians that I slapped him in his guest house at Apo? I am the only woman that slapped Akpabio. He thought he could come up on me. He tried to harass me sexually, she explained.
“I slapped him. He tried to come on me. I am an Ogoni woman and nobody jokes with us. I showed Akpabio that Rivers women do not tolerate nonsense.”
When asked by the program host Reuben Abati, if she is accusing the former governor of Akwa Ibom state of rape or sexual harassment she said, “Harassment sounds better,” not rape.
“Yes, I am accusing him of sexual harassment. Akpabio is most interested in my love life. Did he want to be my seventh husband? That’s why Akpabio told the world that I am temperamental. You know why Akpabio will tell the world that I am temperamental? Because of that incident, I slapped him.”
The former NDDC MD also accused the former governor of Akwa Ibom state, of trying to inflate the NDDC budget.
She said the minister directed her to include some projects from the refugee commission in the budget of the NDDC.
“Akpabio wrote to me to put a list of projects from the refugee commission in the budget of NDDC. Refugee commission is another Federal Government commission for IDPs,” she added.
Nunieh, however, challenged Akpabio to deny her accusations, said she has details of everything documented.
