Oby Ndukwe, President of Citizens Quest for Truth, made the revelation during a Politics Today broadcast on Channels Television on Saturday, May 3, 2025.

According to The Sun, the investigative panel was set up by President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday, April 2, 2025. It is chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima and includes members such as the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the Attorney General of the Federation, and representatives for both Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The panel was established to probe the highly publicized sexual harassment allegations, which have stirred national debate.

Akpabio’s sudden decision to withdraw has intensified speculation, especially in the absence of an official statement. However, insiders claim he cited concerns over executive interference and questioned the panel’s ability to remain unbiased.

Tensions between Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan escalated after the latter accused him of harassment in February 2025. In response, the Senate suspended Akpoti-Uduaghan on March 6, 2025, pending the investigation’s outcome—a move many critics have condemned as an attempt to silence her.

Despite her suspension, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan remains determined to seek justice. She has pledged to present evidence in court to substantiate her claims, vowing not to be intimidated as political pressures mount.
