Senate President Godswill Akpabio has responded to fresh allegations made against him by Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The senator claimed on Tuesday that Akpabio instructed former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello to kill her. She also accused the current governor, Usman Ododo, of being involved in the plot.
In response, Akpabio stated that he would not engage in any argument with the suspended senator. His media aide, Eseme Eyiboh, made this clarification.
He said, “Anything concerning Natasha within the purview of the law is subjudice because there is no way you will comment on it without linking it to the President of the Senate, who is also a party to the suit.”
When reminded that despite being in court, Natasha continued to express her frustration and blame Akpabio for her situation, Eyiboh hesitated before replying.
“That shows the level of respect she has for the rule of law herself. We cannot say anything more than that,” he said.
