- Former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, has suggested that the beauty of suspended senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan may be affecting her political career.

Former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe, has proposed that the allure of suspended senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan may be influencing her political trajectory.
In an interview on Arise News TV, Ogunlewe remarked that Natasha’s physical appeal makes it challenging for men to overlook her, potentially affecting her reputation within the political sphere.
He recognized that female senators are increasingly exhibiting confidence and assertiveness in legislative discussions, no longer viewing themselves as subordinate to their male peers.
Nonetheless, he contended that Akpoti-Uduaghan’s notable beauty might affect her relationships with male colleagues.
“The female senators did not look at themselves as if they were inferior to men. They were even up to the task. If you even mention that Ita-Giwa is a woman, the response you are going to get will make you ashamed of yourself because they will stand up to you,” Ogunlewe said.
Commenting on Natasha’s appearance, he added:
“But the beauty of Senator Natasha is a problem to her.
“You know, men — when somebody who is pretty passes by you, your attitude will change. You can smile, you can wink, but you may not talk to her. But her beauty is a problem, there’s no doubt about that.
“To men, when she’s passing, there’s no way a man will not look at that woman.
“It is a natural thing for a man to look at beautiful women. How can you be a man, and a beautiful woman is passing, and you close your eyes?”
