The immediate past Chairman of the Nigerian-American Public Affairs Committee, Texas, Mr Ike Chidolue, has urged Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to present credible evidence to her allegations or resign from the Senate.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, the suspended senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, had accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello of conspiring to kill her.
Chidolue made the call in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.

His reaction followed the senator’s recent Facebook post, in which she dismissed a viral May 1 Facebook Live broadcast by Dr Sandra Duru (also known as Prof. Mgbeke).

Akpoti-Uduaghan had described the broadcast which featured audio recordings and screenshots that appeared to contradict her public denials on several matters as “manipulated” and “politically motivated.”
However, Chidolue said the senator had failed to present any facts or evidence to defend her position.

According to him, “Her post offered no facts, no forensics, and certainly no credibility.

“What it does offer, unfortunately, is a continuation of a now-familiar pattern sensational allegations, quickly recycled into conspiracy claims once confronted with inconvenient evidence.”

Chidolue added that if the materials presented by Duru were authentic, they portrayed a troubling picture of a public official weaponising unproven accusations for political mileage.

He cited a number of claims made by Akpoti-Uduaghan which had not been substantiated with verifiable evidence. These included allegations of sexual harassment by Senate President Akpabio, claims that former Governor Yahaya Bello was contracted to assassinate her, and accusations that the Akpabios were involved in the 2021 death of a minor.

He also referred to her assertion that her reassignment on the Senate floor was punishment for rejecting advances.

“Not one of these claims has been substantiated by a police report, sworn affidavit, Senate resolution, or authenticated document.

When confronted with contradictory evidence, the senator’s response has been predictable: attack the source, dismiss the proof, and shift the goalposts,” Chidolue stated.

He therefore recommended a four-step approach to restore public confidence.

According to him, Akpoti-Uduaghan should first or refute Duru’s recordings through an independent forensic laboratory publicly.

She should also present evidence including police reports, court filings, and Senate records to every claim, or pursue legal redress if defamed,” he said.

Failing all else, Chidolue added, she should issue a public apology and vacate her Senate seat.

“Let it be said plainly that Nigeria’s public institutions are not theatres for trial-by-sentiment.

“When elected leaders make explosive claims, they owe the public facts, not theatrics. Nigerians deserve better than conjecture and drama.

“The time for storytelling has expired. The burden is now hers: evidence or exit,” Chidolue concluded.

Facts in Nigeria are dismissed on the word of the corrupt government. A classic example would be Ganduje of Kano (AKA Gandollar)who was caught on camera but was acquitted by the more corrupt Kano State house of assembly

the precedent u people are setting will consume u one day.

U want to set a precedent that anyone can accuse u without evidence n people should take his or her word without checking if it's true or not.

So with what Natasha did to Reno omokri is that not enough evidence she's evil? But u people are ing Natasha cos u hate akpabio right?

With what u are ing now, hope u know one day if u have issues with any lady she can claim u raped her n nobody will listen to u or ask for evidence n u will b thrown in jail.

U better use your head n stop ing what will come back to hunt u cos of hate

...so the video footage presented by the investigative journalist Jaafar Jaafar was fake and edited abi? Continue deceiving yourself . One day , wickedness will overthrow you

E be like Natasha don de cast o

Those crying for evidence from Natasha are SCARED. The woman has said she will only provide evidence in Court.

A matter that is in court, the only arsenal she has against her oppressors will be presented in court.

You people should just rest!

The talk is about Natasha

Same thing everyone not controlled by emotion and dislike for Akpabio has been saying and demanding.

Supply credible evidence and everyone will fight this battle with you. Until then, it may be another Reno saga, false accusation.

It's possible Natasha is lying while it's also possible that everything she alleged is true.

The call for evidence, whatever that means is disingenuous. Not every crime leaves behind a trail of evidence especially the type that Natasha alleges. I could be pestering my subordinate for a sexual relationship, and becasue I've mastered the game, I'll ensure never to have these conversations on text or call to avoid being recorded.

On Natasha's part too, it's possible she never recorded any of such calls or conversations, because she never envisaged a day like this would come also, becasue such harrassment may have become nOrmal to her.

The people that accused RKelly/OJ/MJ did not present any hard evidence, but only their of events and a judge could use this to 3xamine the veracity of the claim.

I repeat that the call for evidence is disingenuous.

Seasonal film indeed. I'm very sure Akpabio has something devastating waiting for Natasha. He just need her to trigger it by releasing her evidence.

If you still think Akpabio harassed her at this point, you need to have your brain examined. Someone who is guilty won't be telling his acc to release evidence, especially when said acc already said she has evidences and promised to release them. Also, if Akpabio is guilty, he won't be attacking Natasha in the public like this; he would have opted to settle behind closed doors (I'm talking settlements worth billions of naira and staggering government contracts for Natasha's husband). The Akpabio you are seeing now is someone who is done with his homework and is now ruthlessly executing. I bet he (+Tinubu and the APC) is going for the jugular, if not for anything but to send a message that he/they are not to be toyed with. I'm starting to pity Natasha; she's a goner!

Observation mode reactivated, again!

EponObi:
Lmaoooo... Seasonal film.

What I can clearly see as the game plan of coach Akpabio is:

1. Putting Sandra on a high offensive against Natasha, to choke and put her in state of confusion
2. Switch Sandra to the wing to squeeze Natasha and force her to produce "her evidence" and also overload her side backs (Ezekwesili and co.) into deeper defensive block.
3. Akpabio's defensive midfielders (Regina Askia and Oby Ndukwe) are to offer to Sandra's high offensive moves, so Natasha doesn't have the space to flip into attack mode.
4. The media and social media influencers will serve as his 10, to keep the attacking tempo alive and to control the narrative.

The objective is simple, make the public see Natasha as the serial blackmailer she is and pressurize her to "produce evidence" - the evidence is the main deal . When she does, I'm sure there's a Kelvin De Bruyne somewhere waiting to drive in a curling, long-range shot from outside the penalty box with clinical precision to finish off Natasha in the courts of public opinion and the law. As the maestro Mourinho once said, "The best form of defence is attack".

Btw, she hasn't produced any evidence still - not against Yahyah Bello, Akpabio, or Sandra Duru. Lmaooo.

Liars everywhere. Arise TV (one sided TV station) ed Natasha and compounded her problems.

You're not a court of competent jurisdiction.
The matter is in court and she doesn't owe you any evidence or explanation.
Paid group.
At the last count, Natasha has 2 cases in court and she will present her evidences there.
One entered by Akpabio's wife and others.

Whose person issue are we discussing here?

This erotomaniac woman

“Not one of these claims has been substantiated by a police report, sworn affidavit, Senate resolution, or authenticated document.

The way Obidients carry this woman matter on the head eh 😂

They will tell you to provide proof that Akpabio is not guilty but will curse you if you remind them that it is who alleges that must prove.

Why is it so hard to give one single evidence in a matter that shook a whole country's highest legislative arm??

No, never. Natasha's ers don't need proof. This injustice cannot be sustained. More eruptions to erections.
Hope i tried small, i wan practice my own Natasha gig after Oby tenure don finish.

Is Natasha just knowing that the matter is in court? Why flooding the social media with it? Why defamation on social media and keeping evidence for court. Natasha doesn't have any evidence. She's just going about looking for who would help cook evidence.

What has this got to do with Natasha providing evidence?

Senator Natasha is a blessed woman of integrity.

She will not respond until she wants to.

She brought it to the public space. If she does not want us to ask questions, she shouldn't have brought it to us in the first place

A woman that blackmailed and threatened her current husband with legal suits, and lured him into marrying her by force, how do U expect us to take such a woman seriously? It's only when a man crosses her path that she comes out to accuse the man of sexual harassment, I guess she's a drama queen.

Present evidence to you? Who are you? Are you the court of law? Stop this hireling job you're doing. Refund the money you collected.

Oga, enough of this mental gymnastic. Na she use her mouth talk say she get evidence.

That's your business.
Must you stress yourself over things that doesn't concern you?
It's one thing to see,feel and heard something, it's another thing to react to it.
Moreover, she owe you no explanation no matter what you say or feel because you're not a party to what's going on.
And if you feel you are a party to that case and if you feel you're affected by her actions, the courts would be open tomorrow, you can file a case in that regards.
