No Rift Between Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan – South-South Leaders

  • Call Senate President a moral leader
  • Commend Kogi Central Senator for intelligence, self-control, and strong voice

South-South leaders on Sunday praised the cordial relationship between the President of the Senate, Chief Godswill Akpabio, and the Senator representing Kogi Central, Chief Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

“We know that the Senate President bears no ill will towards Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, contrary to the insinuations of political mercenaries,” the leaders stated.

They also criticized certain individuals and groups for attempting to introduce dangerous narratives into recent developments in the Senate.

“We consider it highly irresponsible and uncharitable for some individuals and groups to mischievously try to pit Akpoti-Uduaghan against the Senate leadership simply for expressing her views.”

At a meeting held on Sunday in Calabar, the South-South leaders dismissed rumors of sexual harassment and sidelining, describing them as “wicked and malicious.”

“These smear campaigns are deliberate attempts to tarnish the image of distinguished senators and to create unnecessary conflict between the widely respected and unflappable Akpoti-Uduaghan and the Senate leadership.”

In a statement released after the meeting, the National Chairman of the South-South Front, Chief John Harry, applauded both Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan for their commitment to the nation’s progress.

“There is a general misunderstanding. The unwarranted attacks on Akpabio and Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan amount to an assault on our collective sensibilities.”

Harry further noted the Senate President’s inclusive leadership style and the peaceful atmosphere he has fostered within the Senate.

“No amount of allegations or criticisms can undermine the contributions of these distinguished senators to the nation’s development.”

The South-South leaders urged the people of the region, as well as those from North Central and across Nigeria, to support both the Senate President and Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.

“The Kogi Central Senator is dedicated and fearless. No amount of blackmail, name-calling, or intimidation from fictitious groups can alter the course of Akpoti-Uduaghan’s destiny.”
