'Sue me, let's cross the bridge' - Senator Natasha dares akpabio over the plant
Akpoti-Outuaghan said she was aware that Akpabio was considering legal action in response to her claims. Senator Natasha Akpoti-Auduaghan, who represents Kogi Central in the National Assembly, risked the president of the Senate Akpabio to push charges over her explosive allegations that he orchestrated a plan to remember her from the Senate-and killed her. Akpoti-Outuaghan said during an interview on Channels Television’s politics on Thursday night that she is aware that Akpabio is considering legal action in response to her claims. She welcomes the move and stands by her allegations. “I hear that the president of the Senate wants to sue me for it,” she said. “I’ll tell him to move on. We will meet and cross the bridge. ‘ The senator earlier made the surprising claim while addressing her supporters during a rally held in Ihima, Kogi Central, on Tuesday. According to her, the president of the Senate initially reached out to Kogi State -Governor Usman Ododo to begin her recall of the Senate. She claimed that Akpabio, when Ododo rejected, and quoted her popularity among the masses, turned to former Governor Yahaya Bello to deal with her memory and her assassination. “But Akpabio was not satisfied; He then asked Yahaya Bello. It was Senator Asuquo that brought Yahaya Bello to the Hiltons. I was notified, ‘Akpoti-U-Upuaghan told her voters. “The meeting was in two folds; He told him to start my memory. He’s going to finance it. Of course, money changed that day. The second thing was that he had to kill me. ‘ She continued with further cold details. “Akpabio told Yahaya Bello to kill me. Akpabio told him to make sure the killing of me doesn’t happen in Abuja. It must be done here. It seems that people have killed me here. I didn’t make it public, but we got to know the police about it,” she said. When politics today the host boy Okinbaloye was asked if she had proof to support such serious allegations, the senator responded by pointing to the attempt at recalling process as partial evidence. “If you doubt the truth of the murder, what about the memory we have just experienced?” she asked. “Let’s come to the bridge.” The president of the Senate has yet to respond to the allegations in public. However, afterers did not confirm or deny the reports of an imminent lawsuit. The political tensions come in the midst of the growing investigation into internal power games in the Nigeria’s National Assembly, with Akpoti-Ouduaghan increasingly vocal over what she describes as purposeful efforts to quiet her. Security agencies issued no official statement regarding the notice of the senator to the police, and it is unclear whether any investigations have begun.
