Senate President Godswill Akpabio has refuted Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s accusation that he collaborated with former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello in a plot to assassinate her.
Akpoti-Uduaghan publicly made this claim during a welcome event with her supporters. However, Akpabio, through his spokesperson Eseme Eyibo, has labeled the allegation as untrue and intentionally harmful.
“This outrageous accusation is not only false but a complete fabrication, deeply irresponsible and a dangerous attempt to provoke public unrest, attract media attention, and discredit the person and office of the President of the Senate for ulterior motives,” the Senate president’s aide said in a statement on Friday.
“It is important to remind the public that this same individual had previously made an unsubstantiated accusation of sexual harassment against Senator Akpabio—a claim she seems to have abandoned without explanation. Having failed to gain traction with that narrative, she has now escalated her campaign of misinformation to a deadly and defamatory dimension.
