[BREAKING] Natasha vs Akpabio: 4 Major Allegations Kogi Senator Made Against Senate President
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has been having a strong battle with never-back-down Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan, who recently accused him of sexual harassment.
Natasha, the lawmaker representing Kogi Central senatorial district in the national assembly, has alleged that the Senate president has been systematically silencing her because of her confrontation with him.
When Natasha, Akpabio’s rift started
The cold war between the two gladiators started when Akpabio did not recognise Natasha to speak during plenary because she was not speaking from her assigned seat. The Kogi senator forced herself to speak and accused the Senate president of a plot to silence her.
However, she was subsequently suspended for six months and her security was withdrawn as part of the punishment for her not to abide by the Senate standing rules. But Natasha did not stop making her voice heard. She disclosed that her dilemma in the national assembly started when she rejected sexual advances from Akpabio.
In a recent interview, the suspended senator raised three other allegations against the Senate president. The allegation came amid her recall process by some groups in her constituency. The three recent allegations are:
Natasha accused Akpabio of an assassination plot
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator alleged that the Senate president had contracted Yahaya Bello, the immediate past governor of Kogi state, to start her assassination as well as her recall.
Natasha made the allegation while addressing members of her constituency at a rally in Ihima in Kogi Central. She alleged that Akpabio earlier contacted Kogi state governor Ahmed Ododo to initiate her recall, but the governor said it would not work because “the masses are with her.”
Natasha said Akpabio plotted her recall process
The embattled senator also alleged that her recall process was part of the deal that the Senate President had with the immediate past governor of her state.
Recall that during the week, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) rejected the recall on the ground that it did not comply with the constitutional requirement.
Natasha reveals Akpabio’s 2027 plan for her
Also, in a recent interview on Channels TV, the Kogi senator alleged that the third deal Akpabio had with Yahaya Bello was to produce a strong candidate who would defeat her in the 2027 election.
She maintained that the third deal was minor because 2027 was still a long journey and vowed that she would know how to cross the bridge when she got there.
