Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has declared that the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him was normal.
And that there was nothing wrong if he was being accused of womanising.
Umahi made the claims on Saturday in response to claims by one woman named Tracy Nither Ohiri, who said Umahi sexually harassed her.
Umahi said being accused of pursuing a woman is not, in itself, wrongdoing.
He denied owing Ohiri any debt nor harassed any person during his years in public office.
Umahi said “I want to thank a lot of you who know me very well. I owe nobody. And of course, I presided over both men and women, and nobody ever said I harassed him or her.”
“I was governor for eight years, and I did fantastic infrastructure. So nobody could come and accuse me wrongly unless the person is being mischievous.
“There is nothing wrong to say, oh, you are chasing a woman. If it’s Senator Natasha that said I’m chasing her, my face would be bolder, not anyhow person that’ll accuse this handsome man of chasing her for 12 years.”
He said the controversy was as a social media issue and urged Nigerians to focus on global developments instead.
