Umma Getso, a former Vice Presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the 2019 presidential election, has opined that women sometimes falsely accuse men of s3xual harassment for political interest.
Getso shared this opinion while speaking on Channels TV on Monday, March 10, while reacting to the s3xual harassment allegation Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan levelled against Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
“Let there be justice. Let women be treated right wherever they are but I am very sorry to say this to a lot of women: I’ve worked with a lot of men, national and internationally, different caliber.
When I hear women say I am s3xually harassed, there is a lot of definition to that or we need to redefine what s3xual harassment is.
We have seen it in a lot of places in the world, not only in Nigeria, whereby women took advantage of them being women and raise such kind of accusation for other personal interest.
If a lady sitting in the Senate, being in that position, is now crying of being s3xually harassed by a man. I know a lot of men that are allowing their women to come into the political game will be a little bit scared.”she said.
