The government which was reacting to a allegations by the suspended Kogi Central lawmaker where she accused Governor Usman Ododo, former Governor Yahaya Bello and Senate President Godswill Akpabio of plotting to kill her, warned that she would be held responsible if any violence erupts in the state due to her actions.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the state’s Commissioner for Information and Communication, Kingsley Fanwo on behalf of the governor following the senator’s homecoming rally which he said was in defiance of the state government’s directive banning political gatherings and convoys, the government accused Akpoti-Uduaghan of attempting to incite chaos in the state, describing her allegations against key political figures as reckless, malicious, and utterly false.
Fanwo who dismissed Natasha’s allegation that Ododo, Bello and Akpabio were behind her ordeals, said she was deliberately misleading the public to garner sympathy.
“This is yet another desperate and calculated attempt by an incurable liar and serial manipulator to mislead the public, incite unrest, and present herself as a victim after deliberately violating the ban on political gatherings imposed by the state government to maintain law and order,” the statement said.
“We will not allow any part of the state to go up in flames nor permit the killing of innocent souls by the actions of the suspended senator.

“Kogi State remains a peaceful state under the leadership of His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, and we will not allow anyone to derail our commitment to peace, security, and progress.
“The Kogi State Government will not be blackmailed or intimidated by the antics of a desperate politician who has built her political career on falsehoods.
“We remain committed to upholding law and order and will take all necessary steps to ensure that no individual, no matter how highly placed, is allowed to breach public peace with impunity.
“The building tension and cloud of violence hanging on Kogi Central wouldn’t have been necessary if Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan had complied with the position of the State Government and cooperated with security agencies.
“She would be held responsible if her actions result in any violence in Kogi Central or any part of the state,” the statement concluded…CONTINUE READING>>
