Normally there are 3 sides to every story….Natasha’s side … Akpabio‘s side…. And the truth….

You don’t expect crocodile tears to imply innocence…

Why do you Yorubads always support evil, wickedness, nepotism, injustices and victimization?

If its based on anti-nepotism Natasha wont even be appointed into the committee she was, talk more allowed to lead it.

But you dont have sense.

To you justice is about making noise in the Senate, disobeying the Senate Rules that has stood since '99 because you didnt have your way.
It's that f00lish nzogbu politics that has dragged your 5 plots in SE into the shithole it now is.
Even your own indigenes keep fleeing from your region.

Keep being d@ft

essentialone:
Go and report to Donald Trump. You will still remain suspended. Senate house is not for emotionally unstable people.

Nawaoo

She thinks her crocodile tears is all it requires to whip international sentiment.

Rilwayne001:
If this is true, why are you and your people packing your bags and joining night buses to come to Ibadan and Lagos everyday?

Nonsense ingredients

EXOUSIAng:
Someone was suspended for behaving like a tout in the red chamber and you are supporting her. Do you realize that many senators had their sits changed also, don't you think there is something wrong with your senses that the one person who went about shouting and disrespecting the entire is the person who is doing right. You have cubwebs in your head

They suspended her, its the right thing to do but U are not talking about the sexual molestation. Hypocrite. Evil has really eated deep into u guys

Akpabio's Randy third leg is in soup

The third leg and its owner may not be in any soup since he allowed himself to be harassed into Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Crooks, APC where sins are forgiven, as long as you remain loyal to the Baba sope Ogas at the top of their lootocracy. Something that they could not make Saraki do.

OEPHIUS:
It is no longer news that Nigeria’s Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio is set to decamp to the APC; what started has a rumour after his notable absence from the PDP NEC meeting has gathered so much momentum as the former Governor yesterday paid a visit to President Buhari in London.

The defection which seems very likely as Senator Akpabio has failed to release a statement against the rumors, comes as a shock to even the most assuming political analysts and journalists especially at a time when the main opposition party, the PDP has put its house in order and is set to welcome even more decampees from the disintegrating APC.

THE FACTS.

A closer look at the Akwa Ibom politician reveals a weak grasp in his home state of Akwa Ibom where he has been continuously hounded and blackmailed by President Buhari led APC administration over several allegations of corruption.

In 2015, The EFCC ran investigations on Akpabio which led to his subsequent arrest over a misappropriation of N101.8 billion state funds which plunged Akwa Ibom state into debt. The former Governor was not charged to court and resumed his duties in the floor of the senate.

In another report, the former Governor was probed again for gifting an unnamed commercial bank the sum of N1.4billion. Another case that was recorded but not taken to court.

The APC led Federal Government hounding of Senator Akpabio was so severe that the Akwa Ibom Government House was invaded by DSS agents in a plot to steal state secrets in an attempt to acquire more evidence against former Governor Akpabio.

In 2016, Senator Akpabio was arrested for a 3rd time by the EFCC when the Anti-graft commission alleged the illegal withdrawal of N18bn to the acquisition of a multi billion naira mansion at Plot 5, Okogosi Spring Close, off Katsina-Ala Crescent, Maitama-Abuja, a multi-billion naira mansionette at Plot 28 Colorado Close, Maitama, Abuja and another multi-billion naira mansion at 22 Probyn Road, Ikoyi, Lagos. For the 3rd time Senator Akpabio was released and no legal charges were filed.

JOINING THE APC

Since 2015, the once vibrant politician lost his voice and failed woefully to provide proper leadership as minority leader in the senate due to the subsequent media backlash against his person and the corruption allegations being thrown around his name.

While other Senators like Bukola Saraki faced all allegations and politically motivated persecution head on, Akpabio may have opted to quietly plead and “settle” with his blackmailers at the expense of the senate, his party, his political career and now ultimately, the people of Akwa Ibom State.

The Anti Corruption War

A move largely perceived as desperate, Akpabio’s defection to APC puts the final coffin to President Buhari’s anti corruption war. It further confirms the long assumed ideology that the APC is a party of protected corruption, where the members and high rollers of corruption in Nigeria are immune from persecution. Senator Akpabio’s rich history of corruption and corrupt allegations is set to be magically swept under the rug.

The same Government that hounded Akpabio, arrested him several times and invaded his former office with DSS agents to get evidence against him have thrown their arms wide open to receive him in their fold. Whether Akpabio was threatened to join the APC or not, it will go down in history that he was a subdued man.

Buhari’s infamous integrity has failed the litmus test with Akpabio. The Nigerian President who prides himself as incorruptible has thrown caution to the wind and made Senator Akpabio, one of the most corrupt persons in Nigeria according to President Buhari’s EFCC to be the Apple of the APC’s eye.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Senator Godswill Akpabio’s corruption allegations have long been in the wind perhaps as hard evidence which has been used recently to blackmail the former Governor. Perhaps enough evidence to get a conviction at the court which would see Akpabio off to prison. However; with the new turn of events, Akpabio who has been alleged to have his eyes on the prized seat of Senate President, may begin to enjoy the peace of mind that comes as he is no longer a perceived threat to the President Buhari administration, perhaps at the expense of his own political goodwill.

What proof you do not have for a case that has not been investigated

You see that you are a complete hypocrite! You know that the case has not being investigated but you were accusing someone of supporting evil! What evil since the case has not been investigated?

Case finished!

Natashaa you see your life they have pushed you to your political dead end because I don't know what is UN business with Senate of any country. You see your life?

Same people pushed obi to become the most politically stupid politician in Nigeria history.

Same people pushed Kanu to DSS prison.

Same people pushed Ekpa to prison.

Same people pushed Melaye into political IDP.

Same people pushed Fubara to his way out of governor house soon.


Same people pushed Hell Rufai into his loading political ICU soon.


Same peopple pushed Saraki into nobody in today's politics.

Same people pushed Natasha into this simply they hate Tinubu and Wike and looking for all means to strike.

UN that can't stop Putin
UN that can't stop Isreal
UN that can stop North Korea
UN that can't stop Afghaistan battering women.

Dey play madam...

Why is she not telling the truth, she was suspended for disregarding the house rules. If she was sexually assaulted by the SP more than 2yrs ago, why bringing the allegation now.


By the way, how many bills has she been able to sponsor since becoming a senator.

The people advising this woman are the same lot that advised Fubara to his doom.

I want to see that UN law that supercedes the law of the Nigerian Senate.

I want to see that UN law that allows you to disrespect the house of over 100 other Senators, and disrespect the office of the SP..

I also want to see that UN law that allows you to make false allegations with zero evidence and expect the accussed to be punished just like that, especially when you have a history of false sexual harrassment allegations.

You think UN is Naija bloggers and Opposition party that have their own agenda and you can use emotion to blackmail.

In fact for this, she will probably be recalled by her constituency that is if she isnt completely orstracized on her return from suspension-if she returns.

She will learn the hard way.

One Year Anniversary: Senator Natasha commissions legacy projects to mark one year in office

Lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Natasha H Akpoti -Uduaghan, marked her one year in office on Saturday, by distributing empowerment materials and launching some projects across the district.

The lawmaker was joined by her colleagues from the Senate to commemorate the historic event.

First was the commissioning of the 1km road network at the Abdul Azeez Atta Memorial College Okene by the senate Minority Leader Distinguished Senator Abba Moro.

Senator Tahir Monguno followed by commissioning the reconstruction and remodeling of the Abdul Aziz Atta Memorial College in Okene. There are 9 blocks of classrooms and 4 boarding houses; as well as unveiling the 5,000 digital learning devices marked the event.

The anniversary also included the inauguration of the reconstructed Ihima Police Station, which was officiated by the Kogi State Commissioner of Police, CP Betrand Onuoha. Additionally, an empowerment programme was launched by Senator Abba Moro.

The Deputy Senate President, represented by Senator Ladan, spoke about Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's first year in office, describing her representation as effective, and praised her efforts to significantly impact her constituents.

“She invited us to see firsthand how she is improving the lives of her constituents in Kogi Central. What makes Senator Natasha unique is her passion for humanitarian service, which seems to be part of her genetic makeup, as her family has a history of giving,” he stated.

On his part, Senate Chief Whip Senator Tahir Monguno emphasised the importance of education in a country's development, commending Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s initiative to digitalise learning in Kogi Central.

Senator Abba Moro also praised the legacy projects and applauded his colleague for her exceptional performance.

“We have toured various projects aimed at improving the lives of the people, particularly concerning security. All of us here, the senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, are proud to support our colleague, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. Her achievements in just one year of service are remarkable.

“I am astonished by the amount of support gathered here for distribution. It’s evident that this is the kind of representation we need, and I am very pleased that she is delivering.”

Speaking at the programme, Senator Natasha reflected on her past year in office, describing it as eventful with many of her campaign promises fulfilled.

"This past year has been a journey of commitment, challenges, and, above all, unwavering dedication to the well-being of our people and the development of our senatorial district. When I took on this responsibility, my vision was clear: to create a senatorial district of our dreams, where every child has the opportunity to learn, every young person has access to meaningful employment, and every family can access basic amenities such as clean water and electricity.

"I am honoured by the trust you have placed in me, and I am here today to reaffirm my commitment to delivering a future that reflects our shared hopes and aspirations. A cornerstone of this vision has been the digitalisation of education. We have deployed 5,000 digital learning devices to public primary and secondary schools across Kogi Central. In the coming weeks, the Universal Basic Education Learning Resource Centre will train teachers and programme these devices with the Nigerian educational curriculum.

"Furthermore, we believe that education is the foundation of a prosperous society. We are beginning the total overhaul of selected existing schools, such as the Abdul Aziz Attah Memorial College (AAAMCO) in Okene. We will also construct a brand-new model primary and secondary school in Osara and facilitate a centre for artificial intelligence and robotics at the Federal College of Education in Okene, as well as an automotive mechatronics workshop and cottage automobile workshop at the Technical College in Oboroke. Both projects are currently undergoing the BPP contracting process, and construction is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2025," she stated.

She continued, “Moreover, a scholarship scheme through the Natasha Foundation has supported the tuition of 353 vulnerable Indigenous students at tertiary institutions nationwide. Equally, we have worked tirelessly to attract employment opportunities for various graduates and facilitate capacity-building training and empowerment programs for thousands of beneficiaries from our senatorial district.

“Today, we are launching a massive empowerment initiative for over 1,300 artisans, focusing on our women and youth. They have been trained and will be empowered to earn a living in areas such as renewable energy installations, fashion and shoe making, block and tile making, fish farming, advanced welding and carpentry, hairdressing, and catering. You can see for yourself what we have accomplished. They have been supported with startup grants. These efforts will provide a solid foundation for families and, in turn, communities. I am also deeply committed to addressing essential needs, such as access to clean water. Through our numerous water projects, we have brought a reliable supply of potable water to many communities, transforming what was once a challenge into a sustainable reality. Out of the 12 water projects, we developed a massive 50,000-liter solar-powered motorised water system, which serves 300 locations and provides 1,800 fetching taps.

“The electricity projects that have been executed throughout our senatorial district, just within one year of my being in office, have illuminated homes and streets, making our communities safer and more supportive of local businesses. Proudly, 30 kilometres of road networks across Kogi Central are now lit, providing better visibility and enhanced safety for both residents and travelers, especially at night."

She further added; “The Ihima community had been without a police station for seven years, and I am honored to have my office facilitate the reconstruction and expansion of our community police station, which we commissioned today. If health is wealth, communities should not be impoverished by the lack of effective and responsive Primary Health Care Centers. I am grateful that my office attracted the rehabilitation of two primary healthcare facilities—the Primary Health Care Center in Ohueta and the one in Osara. Construction is set to commence within two weeks.

“A series of medical outreach programmes have been scheduled for next week in Ajaokuta and Okehi local governments. Similarly, I have proposed and sponsored several bills and motions that are not only nationalistic but essential for repositioning Kogi Central and Kogi State as an industrial hub. This, in turn, will create jobs for our youth and generate revenue for our beloved country.

“The legislative assembly, under the guidance of the Senate President, His Excellency Godswill Akpabio, and the executive, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have formed a strong political alliance. We are ensuring that not only will the Ajaokuta Steel Company function, but that the National Iron Ore Mining Company’s mandate will be expanded to harness the abundant natural resources lying untapped in our region.

“To the leadership of the Senate and my colleagues present, the hills surrounding us are rich in natural minerals, from gold to amethyst and iron ore, among others. I hope that in the coming months, you will join forces with me to ensure these minerals are tapped for the benefit of our country. The Gold Reserve Bill and the establishment bill for the Federal Medical Center in Ihima are legislative efforts aimed at transforming the industrial landscape of our state to meet the welfare and health needs of our people and to widen employment opportunities".

“I am grateful for the productive leadership I have developed with the President himself, His Excellency President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, the First Lady, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and the Senate President, His Excellency Senator Godswill Akpabio. I am immensely grateful to them all. This collaborative approach has helped us access new opportunities and resources, bringing about greater development and democratic dividends for our people.

“There is still much work to be done, and I am committed to continuously learning and striving for improvement. I will work for you with the same energy, passion, and dedication that you deserve. Thank you for your unwavering support,” she concluded.

Dignitaries at the event include representatives of the Deputy Senate President, Senator Musa Ladan, Senate Chief Whip, Senator Tahir Monguno, Senate Minority leader, Senator Abba Moro, Senator Ede Dafinone, Senator Victor Umeh, Senator Tony Nwoye, Senator Ekong Sampson, Senator Anthony Yaro, as well as Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi.

Others are: Edo Deputy Governor, Omobayo Godwins, House of Representative Member representing Adavi/Okehi Federal Constituency, Hon. Abdulraheem Abdulmaleem Danga, Kogi Commissioner of Police, CP Betrand Onuoha, Ohi of Okene, HRH Alhaji Isa Mamman Okatahi, Ohi of Ihima, HRH Abdulrahim Ogido, Ohiomata of Odumi, Chief James Omeiza amongst other eminent Nigerians.

It's seems is yorubads on nairaland, Seun has failed the real Yorubas

Normally, Yorubas are like that, it is inbuilt in their culture/nature, the Lady has every right to take up her case to any level, and the proper thing to do is fair hearing, which the IPU has said, what brought about insulting her with crocodile tears? They think the IPU is the Nigeria Senate where fair hearing is not entertained? Or the Ode thinks granting fair hearing clears the SP of the allegations reported against him?..... Normally, a fool at 40yrs is always going to be a fool!!!

Why won't they migrate has war, cannibalism, fake drugs and narcotics trafficking not devastated their region.

You can see and feel the organisation in their procedures/processes, the honesty in their decisions and their openness to fair hearing.

In Nigeria, they would have suspended the accused. Their wouldn't have been opportunity for fair hearing.

Rivers House Of Assembly Saga: Nigerians Demand Accountability From The Judiciary - JAD.

The Joint Action for Democracy - JAD has called on the conscience of the Nigerians to demand accountability from the judiciary, to protect her independence, and restore confidence in the judiciary as the last hope of justice.

Concerning a viral video showing Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule and others waving the APC flag; The national cordinator of Joint Action for Democracy- JAD, Peter Ameh decried the recent inconsistencies within courts of coordinate jurisdiction and obvious political influence that has bastardized the essence of fairness and justice.

Said that politicians now boastfully use the Judiciary as a weapon to undo their opponents and procure a judgment in their favor.

Using the case of Rivers, JAD released a video showing Rt. Hon. Martin Amawhule and 26 others of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom, voluntarily defected from their original political party without any established crisis within the party and swore to an affidavit to authenticate their defection.
JAD argues that they automatically lost their seats as prescribed by Law.

‘We have seen how they still boast that they shall influence the Judiciary in their favor.

Nigerians especially Rivers people rely on the Supreme Court to put the record straight without any undue influence.
The Supreme Court as the highest decision maker is expected to protect the sanctity of Nigeria's Judicial system to avert the breakdown of law and order in the oil-rich Rivers State.’ - Joint Action for Democracy JAD said.

She thinks the enemy of Akpabio hailing her on are the same people she is reporting him to. Una go learn by fire by force. Take this to the bank, Natasha may end up paying fine over this nonsense she embarked on.

No tell dem again bro, shey dem no wan hear word? Na by force dem hear word.

Sane position.

This is what the ethics committee should have said and done too. But no, they had to use a useless disbarred lawyer with a very repulsive face to try to shut her up.

Eediotas

Go and report to Donald Trump. You will still remain suspended. Senate house is not for emotionally unstable people.

Tribalistic idiots like you don't even realize that an Igbo man from LP is the head of the committee that suspended her.
People from evil tribe that produces fake killer drugs are here insulting Yorubas! Shameless bunch of idiots!

3 reasons I suspected her move is ill advised and might not change her situation much:
1. Not everyone in the world is emotional. Facts are sacred.
2. There'll always be opportunity to hear the other side. The fact that she was not suspended because of her sexual harrassment petition (as will be argued by her opponents) is a strong one. Her previous records too will not help her case.
3. World order is fast changing. Every country has enough of its own issues to deal with. Moreover strong evidence is required in issues like this, granted that men are the same all over the world and most decisions are influenced and made by men.

IBB007:
Lol…this woman just dey disgrace her husband upandan sha…I’m sure she doesn’t listen to the man

I will agree with u on this bro.
I don't think the husband will support her on this.
The man may only pretend outside but deep down he knows all these are not necessary.

Akpabio had been their family friend for ages and now that he is the SP I believe the bond suppose to be stronger.

I believe Akpabio and Natasha husband where friends before Natasha came into picture.

Why did she not bring up the issue of sexual harassment since until the change her seat.

Tinubuagbado:

As in... Why are sentimental in this case. Do you know the real truth?

nonhuman:
oga stop dodging the obvious you and know he was only referring to that raiway commenter that has already declare the woman guilty, Yoruba people are always like that, why the comments funny woman. Put yourself in her shoe while you fighting what you think is right and someone calls you funny

Which yeye shoe ?
The igbo senators that voted for her suspension are what?
Person want bring another person papa,brother,husband, benefactor down you are here saying what I don't understand.
If "natasha" has evidence of sexual harrasment let her head to the court and also release it to the public.
That big lie against RENO OMOKRI is enough reason to discredit her except she has strong evidence against Akpabio.

dettolgel:
Maybe Akpabio did what she accused him of, I am no lawyer but I think she shot herself in the foot when she said that she had to lie to her husband about what was said.

The question now is was she telling the truth now and lied then or did she tell the truth then and lying now?

She is a lawyer and should know better the problem with ear say and inconsistency.

Or did she lie then to consider the offer

Or did she lie to cover other offers she's been granting

'Ipu' to Natasha....

The imagery 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

The senate could had carried a thoughly investigation about the matter to know the truth but they never did

Flexyup:
As in... Why are sentimental in this case. Do you know the real truth?

PriceActionZ:
I have been supporting this woman blindly since all these buhaha started not until i saw a video here (the video has long been deleted for reasons best known to the mods). In the video, she was being cautioned when talking to fellow senator and got distracted when the section was going on. The way this woman responded to SP, twisting her body, talking seductively, and showing those sexy moves made me believe that she is out there to bring some people that will fall for her cunny ways down. I hope she knows she is dealing with Nigerian politicians. They will mess up her career. She needs to understand that where she ran to, nothing can come out of it but she will definitely got wounded politically. She should go and ask Dino.

You speak with wisdom.

That lady needs to handled very carefully.
