<p>In a move prompted by a New Year’s spiritual reflection, Senate President Senator Godswill Akpabio has instructed his legal team to withdraw all pending defamation lawsuits against a number of individuals, saying he was moved by counsel during a New Year Mass.</p>
<p>Speaking at Sacred Heart Parish in Uyo on Thursday, Akpabio disclosed he had initiated close to nine separate defamation cases against individuals over allegations he described as false and damaging.</p>
<p>“I had almost nine cases in court against some individuals who defamed me, who lied against me, who slandered my name,” Akpabio stated.</p>

<p>“But I listened to the priest and suddenly realised he was talking to me, so I hereby direct my solicitor to withdraw all lawsuits against them.”</p>

<p>The decision brings to a close several highâprofile legal confrontations from the past year.</p>
<p>Most notably, Akpabio had filed a â¦200 billion defamation suit against Senator Natasha AkpotiâUduaghan after she accused him of sexual harassment—an allegation he denied and challenged her to prove in court.</p>
<p>Earlier in 2025, Akpabio’s wife also initiated defamation proceedings against AkpotiâUduaghan for claims she said tarnished the family’s reputation.</p>
<p>The rift between the two senators deepened when AkpotiâUduaghan accused Akpabio of orchestrating her suspension from the Senate in March 2025, following her public allegations of misconduct.</p>
<p>She had herself previously filed a â¦100 billion defamation suit against Akpabio and others over remarks she claimed harmed her reputation.</p>
<p>With Thursday’s directive, Akpabio has formally ended all ongoing defamationâbased litigations, marking a conclusive step away from these widely publicised legal battles as the new year begins.</p>
