He also alleged that Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and former Governor of kogi State, Yahaya Bello allegedly wanted to kill her.
According to her, “Akpabio invited Yahaya Bello to Hilton Hotel in Abuja, he told him to start my recall process and also told him to make sure that I am killed”.
“He told him that the K!illing should happen in Kogi State and not in Abuja so that nobody will be implicated”, Senator Natasha told her supporters today in Kogi State during Rally.
NEWSMAX NIGERIA reports that as early as 8 a.m., supporters from the five local government areas under her senatorial district converged on the Ihima community in Okehi Local Government Area (LGA).
Undeterred by security restrictions, they gathered in anticipation, eager to welcome their embattled representative.
The air buzzed with excitement as local musicians took turns entertaining the crowd.
Then, in a grand entrance, Akpoti-Uduaghan arrived in a white helicopter, her presence instantly igniting thunderous cheers and applause.
She stated that her insistence on visiting the area is because, “she is breaking no law.”
Speaking on her recall process, the senator said: “What I see INEC doing is aiding and guiding petitioners on how to perfect their illicit acts.”
On efforts to stop her from visiting the area, she said: “Nobody and nothing can stop me from coming home. I’m an Ebira woman; this is my land. I’m the daughter of the late Jimoh Abdul Akpoti. I know my roots; I’m not a bastard, and I’m not afraid of anybody.”
