I’m No Enemy Of The President – Natasha Exposes Political Vendetta Behind Viral Accusations
In an interview with media personality Adeola Fayehun, the senator revealed that Senate President Godswill Akpabio demanded a so-called “progress report”—a term she later came to understand was code for expected financial or political kickbacks.
Akpoti-Uduaghan said her refusal to comply with these demands led to escalating tensions between her and Akpabio.
“I told my husband and even Akpabio directly that I couldn’t do that,” she recounted. “His response was, ‘Then you’re not fit to chair any committee.’ That’s when it became clear to me that this wasn’t about competence, but about returns.”
Her revelations shed light on the internal struggles within the Senate and the unseen pressures lawmakers face to conform to certain political expectations.
She further alleged that many senators are subjected to relentless demands from unnamed political “godfathers,” particularly during budget proceedings.
“Akpabio has turned Senate sessions into comedy shows to mask the real issues,” she claimed. “Behind the laughter, there’s lobbying, coercion, and manipulation. What I went through, many others are silently enduring.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan’s account raises serious questions about the transparency and integrity of Nigeria’s legislative process.
