Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has sent a strong message to Senate President Godswill Akpabio amid renewed controversy surrounding purported leaked audio recordings and their ongoing political dispute.
In a statement addressed to Akpabio, the Kogi Central senator warned that any alleged attempt to undermine her would ultimately backfire.
She wrote:
“Dear Godswill Akpabio, Senate President of the Nigerian 10th Assembly… continue.
Dear Punch Newspapers, Guardian Nigeria, and others… you may take the envelope and publish whatever Akpabio’s office sends to you.
S.P. Akpabio, know that the pits you dig for me, you shall very well fall into.
Senator Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan
Kogi Central.”
Her statement comes amid renewed controversy over purported audio recordings released by US-based activist Sandra Duru, also known as Prof Mgbeke, which she presented as conversations involving Akpabio and Natasha.
The recordings have not been independently authenticated, while both Akpabio and Natasha’s camps have previously declined to comment on the latest allegations.
Natasha’s latest statement has sparked reactions on social media.
@Andybest411: When I raised this issue today that VDM came for Natasha for no reason after that clone voice recording, they all insulted me but he (VDM) never made the Akpabio’s a big issue. Can’t you all see that he’s paid ?
@callmeuchman: Nigeria is a comedy if you don’t know that by now, you should just go get your brain checked
@IamtheOYE: She has started again….nobody is telling her to pipelow. When apkabio retaliates,we don’t wanna see justice for natasha oo!
@kasalioluw82460: Senator Natasha is a great woman speaking up more than the figureheads in the senate
@Foxyblueu: While they dig pits for each other, Nigerians are digging pits just to eat. Same old story with these elites.
