Theflint1: If they succeed in recalling her, it'd likely be another case of lawbreaking by the powers that be, cause from what I saw online, it needs be half the registered voters in her senatorial district appending their name to a call for recall before its approved.
What's happening is like APC grabbing an opportunity they have been waiting for. It's not about lack of representation Rather, the suspension provides them with advantage and enough reason to finally display their hate towards her. They hate her from that cycle. they don't wish her well. They display this wherever you see them- Facebook, nairaland, twitter, off media. But the real people that matter are with Her.
It has been a defeat to whole lion ant that a PDP senator, not just that, his adversary won his senatorial zone with his local godfather rhetorical he is trying to create in kogi state. So they are trying to stage a comeback with support from above.
The recalling will not see the light of the day and the injustice will not be sustained!
.......Amoto94, reccy! Una sure Natasha fit survive this Tsunami?! LOL!
Yahaya Bello and his goons is hell bent on recalling her. They have invested, spent a lot of money on this recall with media propaganda yet the reality is different.
We heard rumours now that he is preparing to replace her if it's successful.
Unfortunately, my Governor is only but remote Controlled.
Ramdeter from Oyo, Theflint1 from Edo, izzou from Anambra distroyy from Akwa Ibom wan tear our shirts on top Natasha while her people from Okene a man called himself Baba Natasha is saying they want her recalled
Na to just buy data and popcorn dey enjoy this Naija politicomedy
We were all here when Bello, with his money and power tried to do that rubbish with Dino. How did it end? Talk more of now that him and his goon are less powerful.
We also know that there's power above behind this. But our gallant senator doesn't move a bit because she knows the majority is with her.
When the dust is settled, they will vomit everything and name the losers that sent them.
INEC has come out to deny having knowledge of this shameful act. I wonder how it's going to stand in the eyes of the law!
raumdeuter: Shey you hear the language dem dey speak? Na her local people dey carry the recall. amoto94 If you say they are influenced by money na you know
izzou: [color=royalblue]No matter how we are an animal Republic, we ought to have a line that we shouldn't cross, or at least a body that we should respect
The moment the SC reinstated the HOA members, he was gone. That's two-third of the house already.
If he had shame like me, e for jejely resign, and be the hero Rivers never had. [/color]
Why e start the fight in the first place sef?
You suppose weigh your options and your chances before picking a fight especially with someone who's instrumental to your current position.
Anybody that cares to listen, this is their modus operandi. They are desperate and still pained that their mad dog was chased away from senate. We know their antics.
Our job now is to enlighten people especially the old people, the academic illiterates amongst us on their plot and to never give their voters card to any idiot on the guises of empowerment program.
GloriousGbola: i want to believe this is staged. the woman has serious pull in her constituency. the pictures are not dated and neither is the video. this is ramadan and people will not be dancing in the sun in the afternoon. and in another video i am seeing orange yellow keke. orange yellow is lagos public transport colour. i dont see it in other states.
this feels like another smear campaign.
It actually happened in some parts of Okene and Adavi LG.
When I asked Reccy to leave these people, e say na insult, and e dey fight for him constituency.
E be like say the constituency don divide like the 12 tribes of Israel [/color]
Bro, normally, no matter how united people are, we still have those betrayers that would want to go opposite or trying to pull every move down.
Remember, she fought her way through court to be in the Senate. We still have some painful elements that are looking for her downfall especially this down period.
These are the elements that are pulling this exercise in futility. Unfortunately, these people constitute my local government. Yes, they are people from my local government who are desperate and pained that their inactive Son was bundled out of the Senate.
We know them but our resolves are stronger enough than any lunatic media display they are carrying out.
I guess Usman Ododo don see ways to settle scores with her. reccy which direction are you voting
Ododo, ordinarily, doesn't have problem with Natasha. He's even ready to mend and build relationships with Natasha for the greater good of kogi people. But we have one man in the picture that's blocking all moves. Your guess is as good as mine.
Sorry, lot of loads on my ass now but you see this recall shenanigans they are displaying, it's dead on arrival.
We know the people behind it. These are the people she fought in court to overturn the election in the Senate. These are the desperate nonetities from kogi central that declared that fraud 1:5 victory.
We know them and we know their antics. she is the only politicians in kogi central that most people love and ready to defend.
I've seen old, young, women, mothers and outsiders troop out to welcome whenever she comes home. To now have media lunatic display is a foolery at best.
Their desperate attempt to silence her has been uncovered and exposed. She's has our support because she has been doing extremely well. You see those rogues from red chamber and political losers from kogi central? They will never be able to break the people's mandate.
Spy360: Technically yes. But you can't trust Nigeria.
There's a caveat that if she writes an apology she can be pardoned. Even though the SP illegally granted the caveat as there was more opposition to it than those who supported it.
Apology for what? Is not as if she accused him wrongly. The matter has not been investigated to determine the veracity of the accusation.
Please someone should bring that clown for me. I want to knock him. He's irritating!!!
Spy360: I don't think many people really care about Natasha. Majority of those speaking against Akpabio are either the people who know him and his dubious nature and past or those who feel that the execution of justice must be done in the right way and manners.
For example, why can't Akpabio step down and allow the deputy SP preside over the matter? Can he be a judge in his own case or in a case that can be injurious to him? A clear conscience fears no accusations. Akpabio should step down.
His actions have led the house to disobey court orders and openly disgraced themselves by exposing their sycophancy in public. Already the law states that a senator cannot be suspended for more than two weeks. So they are violating the law.
Even if Natasha didn't attend the hearing, why can't they give her another opportunity as one who already feels hurt?
Whether her accusations are true or not, she deserves fair hearing especially as she does not trust the impartiality of the committee to try her.
Against the culture of silence, intimidation and victim-shaming; my unjust suspension from the Nigerian Senate invalidates the principles of natural justice, fairness and equity.
The illegal suspension does not withdraw my legitimacy as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I will continue to use my duly elected position to serve my constituents and country to the best of my ability till 2027 … and beyond.
Senator Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan Proudly Kogi Central, Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬
izzou: [color=royalblue]There are over 2 million issues with Nigeria that should be your headache; issues that you should really be asking about accountability
But it is the issue between two known liars that you are worried about.
Accountability is relative sha. I hope you find the one you seek.
As for me, they should take their nonsense issues and fcck off the Senate. [/color]
Suspending the senator representing me and my people is not worth discussing? You mean, all the bills she's currently working on, all the projects currently ongoing and numerous policies established for the betterment of my people being suspended doesn't worth discussing?
Let me get it clearly, do you mean I should spend my time discussing Federal Government while leaving out the senator that's closer to people that has undergone different projects in kogi central?
If that's not issue worth discussing, I wonder the issues that fall into your 2 millions.
What happened to even give a sense of fair hearing Arranging your goons to investigate your case and preside over such case will always devoid of transparency and should not be taken serious by any sane person.
The person she accused was not even in the country, and wasn't even close to the venue where she claimed he harassed her. This is the person you are carrying a sword and shield for?
The fact that we are even having a conversation about which of them is wrong, is also part of Nigeria's problem.
Two well known frauds and liars na him una dey find who dey talk true? [/color]
No sir, for the fact that we are trying to infer the truth from the accusations made helps us to put public officials accountable for their actions and also Ensuring Justice is served.
Let those responsible for any wrongdoing be held accountable and not the other way round.
If you were a woman who is by default ruled by sentiments I wouldn't even bother arguing but you are a man who by nature is given to logic. Shed off your sentimentality.
Look at the facts. Are you following the Jay Z case of a woman who claimed he harrassed her only to drop it when he insisted she back up he claims with evidence?
So just because the men here joke about mentoring - I love beautiful women too - means they go about harrassing women? So being a polygynist automatically makes you a sexual harasser of women?
Ned Nwoko is an unabashed polygamist and TuBaba has a song where his opening line is about being straightforward about loving and wanting women. Does it make both of them sexual harassers by default? Should we believe any woman who accuses Tu Baba and Ned Nwoko of sexual harassment WITHOUT evidence because they are supposedly womanizers?
Shed off your sentimentality. And I don't like the difficult position of defending Akpabio. I like to accuse him every other day.
The previous case was more than merely joking with foul words. This is someone that was known as using force, power and position to intimidate, harassing young ladies.
When you are known as a chronicle liar, womanizer, that goes about harassing ladies every eke market, such seat, as senate president , is above your morality.
To even think the man was a judge on his own case, refused to temporarily step down and launch an investigation over the accusations is, itself, a gross violation of standard protocol.
DissTroy: I don't really like Akpabio but he's right this time. Your Senator has a history of weaponising false sexual harassment accusation. For far too long, women have destroyed men with false accusations.
In 2019, Actress Dorcas Fapson falsely accused a Taxify driver of rape. He lost his job and was arrested. His saving grace was his dash cam which showed she was the one making moves on him but he rebuffed. Nothing happened to her.
In 2018. a girl accused a popular Twitter influencer UcheDandyMUFC of rape. His saving grace was his Twitter and WhatsApp chats from 2016, which showed she was a corp member who wooed him, visited him, cajoled him to have sex. Still, the guy wasn't interested in taking it further because she was a catfish who didn't look one-fifteenth as the edited pictures she had on Twitter. It went viral as "Lekki to Ajah" on Twitter that year.
I've stated over the years on this platform, I still have WhatsApp chats from 2013 and follow up on every call a lady makes wanting to spend time with me, with a WhatsApp chat or recorded call to protect myself from false accusations.
Amber Heard ruined Johnny Depp's life with false rape accusation but no prison time for her. Jay Z is battling for his life due to false rape accusations.
If you can build a solid case of misappropriation of public funds as Akwa Ibom Governor against Akpabio, I'd support you and even provide evidence to strengthen your case. But on this Natasha issue, Akpabio is right. FALSE RAPE ACCUSATIONS SHOULD CARRY THE SAME PENALTY AS RAPE. Too many men have been destroyed.
That she might have accused someone wrongly in the past is not enough reason to term her accusations "wrong" this time around.
This is not the first time akpabio was being accused of sexual harassment either. What reasonable senate should have done is to give a fair hearing to both sides and not this shenanigans that they displayed the other time. We all know every senator there has been cajoled by goons above.
I'm not much concern because she has the court to determine the legality or otherwise of her suspension. We have seen this before, definitely, this will not be last.
Theflint1: So did Natasha get a 6 month suspension for the disruption over seating arrangements, or for accusing the senate president of sexual harassment?
The sexual harassment situation was essentially an issue between two persons, and basically one persons word against the other...if they were to adjudicate on that, the fair thing to do would have been to suspend both parties until they had sorted their issues, or recommend resolution outside of the senate.
They chose not to investigate the issue, and struck it out on technicalities, yet went ahead to punish one party, and it's clear that her "crime" of disrupting senate preceding's doesn't match the 6 month suspension so while they didn't attend to her petition, it didn't stop them from punishing her for daring to file it .
It's speaks to the state of things that our political office holders are moving like this.
