Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central in the Nigerian Senate, has firmly denied allegations suggesting she is plotting against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration. The claims, made by UK-based entrepreneur Sandra Duru, alleged that the senator was working behind the scenes to undermine Senate President Godswill Akpabio and, by extension, the current federal government.
Speaking through an official statement, Akpoti-Uduaghan dismissed the accusations as baseless, politically motivated, and a deliberate attempt to distort her public image. She emphasized her unwavering commitment to good governance, national unity, and the progress of Nigeria under President Tinubu’s leadership.
The senator, widely recognized for her advocacy on transparency, healthcare reform, and legislative accountability, reiterated her support for initiatives that promote national development. Her contributions on the Senate Committee on Health and other key assignments reflect her dedication to constructive leadership and responsible political engagement.
The incident comes amid a rising tide of misinformation in Nigeria’s political landscape, where personal agendas are often advanced through false narratives. Akpoti-Uduaghan’s decision to publicly address the situation serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of truth and clarity in political discourse.
Her clarification is particularly significant at a time when Nigeria is seeking to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties with international partners, including the United Kingdom. By dispelling falsehoods, the senator reinforces a message of stability, unity, and cooperation—values essential to the country’s progress both at home and on the global stage.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan remains steadfast in her mission to champion policies that benefit the Nigerian people, while fostering transparency and political maturity in governance. Her public rebuttal not only clears her name but also sets a precedent for addressing political propaganda with integrity and facts.
