Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has accused the camp of Senate President Godswill Akpabio of attempting to circulate damaging materials against her.
Akpoti-Uduaghan made the allegation in a Facebook post
following the circulation of a video by social media activist, VeryDarkMan
(VDM).
The Kogi Central senator shared a screenshot of what she
described as a WhatsApp conversation containing a link to the VDM video and a
request for recommendations of national newspapers and blogs that could publish
the content.
The message in the screenshot allegedly read: “Please which
national dailies and blogs can this fly? I need like 5 and the cost
implications.”
Reacting to the development, Akpoti-Uduaghan accused
Akpabio’s office of attempting to use media platforms against her.
“Dear Godswill Akpabio, Senate President of the Nigerian
10th Assembly… you may take the envelope and publish whatever Akpabio’s office
sends to you,” she wrote.
“S.P. Akpabio, know that the pits you dig for me, you shall
very well fall into.”
The senator did not identify the person behind the alleged
WhatsApp conversation or provide independent evidence establishing who
initiated the communication.
The latest development comes amid the prolonged dispute
between Akpoti-Uduaghan and Akpabio, which began in 2025 following a
disagreement over her seating arrangement in the Senate.
The dispute later escalated after Akpoti-Uduaghan accused
Akpabio of sexual harassment and victimisation, allegations the Senate
President denied.
The Senate subsequently suspended Akpoti-Uduaghan over
alleged violations of its rules, a decision that generated widespread
reactions.
