Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has distance herself from quotes attributed to her claiming she received ₦500 million from Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
There has been an online circulation of a salacious discussion allegedly between the Senator who is under suspension and the Senate president.
Speaking in a statement Tuesday Akpoti-Uduaghan said: “Let me be clear: I have never received ₦500 million or any amount from Senator Akpabio. At no time did I make any statement suggesting such. This is nothing but a deliberate falsehood aimed at causing unnecessary controversy.
“It is unfortunate that certain individuals are willing to fabricate such blatant lies. I urge Nigerians to verify information before believing or sharing it.
“Falsehoods like this are unacceptable. My focus remains on serving my constituents with transparency and dedication, not engaging in baseless distractions.”
The senator called on security agencies to investigate the source of the misinformation and take necessary action against those responsible. She reaffirmed her commitment to the principles of truth and justice, declaring, “Defamation and character assassination should have no place in our society. I am confident that the truth will always prevail.”
