Senate President Godswill Akpabio has denied the assassination allegation made by suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, calling it a false and dangerous fabrication.

Akpabio, who released a statement through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, on Friday, called the accusation a deliberate campaign of misinformation.

“As a statesman devoted to national unity and democratic values, I will not be distracted by malicious falsehoods or inflammatory rhetoric.

“While speaking in Kogi State on April 1, 2025, the suspended Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan falsely alleged that Senator Akpabio had recruited former Governor Yahaya Bello to assassinate her.

“This outrageous accusation is not only false but a dangerous and provocative fabrication,” part of the statement reads.

“Her recurring pattern of false accusations, including similar claims in 2019 and 2023 against other public figures, reveals a troubling exploitation of victimhood narratives for personal and political gain,” it added.
