Akpabio said: “I will not intentionally denigrate any woman and I always pray that God will uplift women. “Distinguished Senator Natasaha, I want to apologise to you.

______;:::“The interest shown in the social media shows that we have enemies. I felt I should tender a public apology to you. I do not mean any harm. People should concentrate on things that will move this country forward.

Akpabio lamented that the social.media outfits were operating without regards to professional ethics of journalism, urging the media operators in this category to show decorum in their practice.

“Social media handlers should practice with decorum. We won’t out of anger regulate social media,” Akpabio said.
