Wel, the Senate President has responded and about to sue her for the allegations.....

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has responded to allegations made by Joy Nunieh, the former Acting Managing Director of the NDDC. Akpabio claims that Nunieh was dismissed due to allegations of certificate forgery and potential perjury. Specifically, he cites a letter from the late Abba Kyari that raised concerns about Nunieh's NYSC certificate. After verifying these allegations, Akpabio terminated Nunieh's appointment to avoid a scandal.

Akpabio emphasizes that Nunieh's actions were unacceptable, stating that she "lied under oath." He plans to take legal action against Nunieh, notifying her that she will soon hear from his lawyers. This response comes after Nunieh's previous allegations against Akpabio, claimed that she slapped him because he touched her inappropriately.

"My other sister the one they sometimes refer to as joy Nunieh I like to mention her name because very soon she will be hearing from my lawyers anytime in the next one week. Crime never dies, when I received a letter from the late abba kyari chief of staff that her certificates were questionable and she didn’t do national youth service, I wrote to the NySC the nysc responded and so I quickly changed her before it became a scandal as soon as she was changed hell was let loosed.
She first said Akpabio wanted me to swear to an oath of allegiance in the village and then they told her the whole village is wired she said eh! What do I say the next thing she came out to say was he tried to touch me and I slapped him! I am the first woman in Niger delta to slap him and she was asked is it like sexual harassment or rape she said no, not rape maybe something like that. Asked is it sexual harassment she said yes! Sexual harassment.

That is what you want me to pursue so I will go and tell the world she was parading fake nysc result. Then I will tell the world she committed perjury, she lied under oath and yet I have four daughters, I would like to protect their image. Since you people have decided to go into the gutters lets all go inside. Let me out everything so you will see why women also have to note that their attitude will determine their altitude. We can increase the number of women in parliament by our own, by preventing the idea of weaponizing gender.

A woman should not be looking at herself as a weaker sex. My second daughter is a very strong woman, she has got her masters she is doing her PHD right now. She is very strong probably stronger than me and she disagrees with me. Deep inside me sometimes when we argue and she says daddy you are wrong I would tell her I am older than you and she will say don’t use age here.

Put up any woman in any senatorial district today, the women will go and vote for the men you will never vote for yourselves so lets start by questioning women how come you don’t elect your own. Women constitute 51% of the voting population so why then are you taking backstage in terms of political representation. Women will never vote for themselves so if a woman does not want to vote for a woman am I the one that will force the woman"
