Senate President Godswill Akpabio has ordered the immediate withdrawal of all court cases filed against Senator Natasha and other individuals.
He made the announcement during a New Year service at Sacred Heart Parish in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, explaining that he had previously taken nearly nine people to court over allegations of defamation and slander.
Akpabio said his decision followed a sermon delivered by the priest, which he described as deeply personal and impactful.
“I had almost nine cases in court against some individuals who defamed me, who lied against me and slandered my name. But as I listened to the priest, I suddenly realised he was speaking to me,” he said.
According to the Senate President, the message moved him to forgive those involved, leading him to instruct his lawyers to discontinue all legal actions.
“Therefore, I hereby direct my solicitors to withdraw all lawsuits against them,” he added.
