🚨 TENSION RISES in Nigeria’s political space! Senate President Godswill Akpabio has fired back hard at Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, calling for the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to launch a full-blown investigation into what he calls a shocking and baseless assassination claim against him. 😳🔍
This drama kicked off after Senator Natasha filed a bombshell petition, accusing Akpabio of allegedly plotting to take her out—with the help of ex-Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello! According to her, the alleged plan was to be executed in Kogi State. The explosive claim quickly went viral, sparking nationwide debate. 🔥
But Akpabio isn’t letting it slide. He’s labeling the accusations as nothing more than “malicious lies” and a calculated attempt to ruin his image. In a swift move, he’s now urging law enforcement to not only investigate the claims but also press criminal defamation charges against Natasha! ⚖️🗣️
The petition reads;
“I write to formally bring to your attention and seek immediate investigation and prosecution of a criminally defamatory and malicious statement made against me by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, a suspended member of the Nigerian Senate on the 1st of April, 2025 and which was widely publicised on radio stations, televisions and newspapers, including the social media,” Akpabio stated in his petition.
He continued, “In the public outburst at Kogi State while addressing her audience, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan falsely alleged that I instructed the former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, to ‘assassinate her in Kogi State instead of Abuja’ with the intent of making it appear that her constituents were responsible for her death.
Akpabio categorically rejected the accusation, calling it “a reckless and deliberate attempt to damage my reputation, endanger my life and security, and incite political unrest.”
He also expressed concern over the political motives behind the false claims. “Her motive was clear, which was to incite the public, manipulate sentiments, and malign my person and office in the eyes of the Nigerian people and the international community,” he added.
This saga is unfolding fast, and Nigerians online are watching closely. Will this end in court? Or is there more to come? 👀 Stay tuned!
