Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has accused Senate president Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello of plotting to murder her in her home state.
The Kogi Central Senator who was speaking Tuesday at a homecoming rally in her honour stated that it was Senator Akpabio who is sponsoring her recall and has promised to fund the exercise with Mr. Bello as his point man. She added that both men have even gone further to plot her death in case the recall failed to work.
“On the 13th of March at 10:00 pm, mind you, two days before that, Akpabio had called Governor Ododo on the phone to commence my recall but Ododo told him it would be impossible,” Akpoti-Uduaghan said.
“Ododo told Akpabio that the recall will be impossible because the masses are with me. But Akpabio was not satisfied so he called Yahaya Bello. I was informed of everything.
“The meeting was on two folds – they told him to commence my recall and that he was going to fund it.
“The second thing he said was that he should try and kill me. I didn’t make this public, but I have written to the IG of Police.
“Akpabio told Yahaya Bello that he should make sure that killing me does not happen in Abuja, that it should happen here so that it will look as if it was the people that killed me here.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan had accused Senator Akpabio of Sexually harassing her in the fall-out of a sitting disagreement they had on floor of the Senate. This episode led to her being suspended from the Senate for six months.
This new allegation is an escalation of the feud between the two Senators. Akpabio who denied hitting on Akpoti-Uduaghan is yet to respond.
