Oby Ndukwe has said senator Natasha Akpoti should back up her sexual harassment claims with evidence adding that Nigerians have Have waited long enough to get her Evidence against Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

Meanwhile, The suspended lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has reacted to the claims of United States-based activist Dr. Sandra Duru, popularly known as Professor Mgbeke, saying all her allegations were false.

The lawmaker made the clarification in a statement issued by her media aide, Israel Arogbonlo.

Earlier, Mgbeke released shocking evidence of her exclusive phone conversations where she claimed Akpoti-Uduaghan lied against the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio, regarding the controversial sexual advances allegation.

The activist, who made the revelation during a Facebook livestream session monitored by our correspondent on Thursday night, added that she also tried to induce her with N200 million to falsely accuse the former Akwa Ibom governor of organ harvesting.

While stressing that the call logs and recorded conversations in her possession are convincing enough to prove that the lawmaker lied about the sexual harassment allegation levelled against Akpabio, Mgbeke also decried that it was wicked of her to attempt to link him with the death of a young girl who died a few years ago.

In the one-hour, eight-minute live broadcast, the activist claimed that the suspended Senator was out to destroy men, confirming that she had no actual evidence to defend her harassment claim against Akpabio.

But Akpoti-Uduaghan maintained her innocence, claiming all the recorded conversations played in the live stream were manipulated and could never have come from her.

The lawmaker also alleged that she had just recently stumbled on the identity of the activists-cum-journalist.

She said, “I have carefully watched a live stream which was done by one Sandra C Duru on Facebook on May 1st, 2025. The content of the live stream, including the voice effect credited to me, is entirely untrue and most manipulated to serve Sandra Duru’s ulterior motive of playing the script of Senator Godswill Akpabio.

“To the best of my knowledge, those words used against Dr Oby Ezekwesili, Dr Abiola, FIDA and fellow Nigerians as ‘Gullible and Hungry’ are crazy falsehoods and did not emanate from the natural cause of any contact involving me.

“It was from recent research that I also found out that the person who now represents herself as Sandra Duru is the same person who operated as Prof. Mgbeke on Facebook. In the nearest of time, I will respond to the unfounded allegations made therein.”

So you believe Obi will defeat Tinubu in a national election?

How will Obi penetrate the core North? By Atiku raising his hand up or by what exactly?

Former Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Political Matters, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has advised the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, ex-presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar against running for the Presidency in 2027.

Baba-Ahmed said Atiku should support a younger presidential candidate in 2027 and play a fatherly role to the person.

Baba-Ahmed said a younger presidential candidate from Atiku will take the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the “cleaners.”

He said: “If I have the chance to sit with Atiku, I would say to him- Sir, you have done your bit, you have held up the democratic process, you represented it well, your name has been written in gold, it’s time to yield the ground to a younger person; don’t run in 2027, play a fatherly role.

“Find a good and young person. If he were to field a younger person that is more capable with less skeletons in their cupboard, somebody with less liabilities, in age, health, and everything; they will take APC to the cleaners.”

He insisted that the ruling party is growing with the wrong set of people.

Baba-Ahmed said most of those defecting to the APC are either looking for positions of running away from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

“APC is growing with the wrong people, all these defections is aimed at one thing, they are looking for positions or running away from EFCC.

“The people running into the APC from all over the place are actually a liability, it’s simple a refugee camp that will burst,” he added.

Festus Keyamo, minister of aviation and aerospace development, says members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta are now loyal to Sheriff Oborevwori, governor of the state.

“We are here today as one unit, the gatekeepers of the party,” he said.

“These are the gatekeepers of the party in Delta state. The three senators… the three are seated here. The only member of the house of representatives, the only single one, is here.

“These are the gatekeepers, like I said, of the APC in Delta. Outside this group, there is no APC in Delta.

“If decisions are to be taken, these are the people that sit down with the state chairman to take a decision regarding the APC. If anybody tells you otherwise, the person must be a comedian.”

“If the state can’t protect Nigerians, the National Assembly, through voice votes, should amend the constitution to allow Nigerians to bear firearms. After all, it was the same voice votes they used to legalise the state of emergency in Rivers. They don’t even need a quorum anymore.”

Continuing, Dalung further chided the Presidency over what he described as slow response and alleged misrepresentation of the massacre happening in the affected communities.

Earlier in his submission, human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, echoed the same view, arguing that in a multi-culture and ethnic contraption like Nigeria, it was obvious the police had been overstretched, hence the need to grant licence for Nigerians to protect themselves.

“If we are fully convinced as I am that security agencies have failed, let’s allow people to buy guns to protect themselves. If we all have guns, who will dare to invade Plateau or Benue to terrorise the communities?” he queried.

In his address, Sowore said most Nigerians had lost confidence in the security agencies.

While describing the operatives as incompetent, the former African Action Congress presidential candidate, described the rising cases of insecurity across the country in the last few months as an indication that the Police hierarchy had run out of ideas.

He said, “We see what they have done so far as total failure. Anybody who identifies as Nigerian deserves protection. What has become clear is that we can’t have a crime of this magnitude without their enablers in government.

“If you look at the calibre of guns being used in these genocidal attacks, you will understand what I mean. They are not just military-grade; they are the type that can penetrate houses and metals. One thing we like to warn Nigerians about is that no matter how you take this thing for granted, one day it may be your turn.”

I love how he silenced the journalist with facts. One party state is remembered when APC has 22 governors but deepening democracy is mentioned when PDP had 27 governors. Lazy opposition.
