A former lawmaker, Senator Ayodele Arise, has declared that every beautiful woman is subject to sexual gestures anywhere in the world.
Arise said while speaking on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s sexual harassment allegation against Senate President, Godswill Akpabio on Arise TV Morning Show programme on Saturday.
According to him, the matters should have better been handled properly by both parties rather than making the matter a national issue amidst pressing needs in the country.
The former senator who represented Ekiti North Senatorial District between 2007 and 2011 stressed that there is sympathy towards women when sexual harassment claims occur.
He said, “Every woman that is good-looking radically is subjected to such gestures (sexual). Even people take other people’s wives, not even Nigeria. Would that be an issue for the TV for a senator? Of course, it wouldn’t have been right if it had happened. Even compliments like you are beautiful and you are gorgeous could be termed as sexual harassment. So, we need to know where it starts and where the limit is. The one that the law recognises and can be easily proven is if you rape a woman, there are ways this could be detected, and the law would take its course.
