Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is again under intense public scrutiny, as a pattern of explosive accusations without evidence begins to define her political playbook. Forty-eight hours after Dr. Sandra Duru’s scathing exposé accused her of orchestrating a smear campaign—allegedly paying activist Oby Ezekwesili to weaponize a false sexual harassment claim against Senate President Godswill Akpabio—Akpoti has remained conspicuously silent.

No response. No lawsuit. No denial.

Even more damning is the fact that more than three months after she publicly accused Akpabio of sexual harassment, Senator Akpoti has yet to present a single shred of evidence to support her claims. No documents. No witness statements. No formal petition beyond the media noise. The case, if it ever existed, appears to have stalled in the realm of social media outrage.

The situation worsened when, on April 1st, during a homecoming in Kogi State, she alleged an assassination plot against her, naming former Governor Yahaya Bello and Akpabio as potential orchestrators. In response, Bello petitioned the Inspector General of Police, demanding she either produce credible evidence or face legal action for criminal defamation and incitement. Yet again, Akpoti has offered nothing but silence.

Observers are beginning to see a troubling pattern.

“She throws out accusations like political grenades—then vanishes when it’s time to account,” a journalist in Abuja noted. “You cannot keep undermining institutions with sensational claims and expect no consequences.”

In the wake of these developments, many Nigerians are calling for accountability. Not just from Akpoti, but also from those, like Oby Ezekwesili, who publicly defend her without presenting any verifiable evidence.

If Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan truly stands for justice—as she claims—it’s time she backs her words with facts. Until then, her credibility, and the gravity of the issues she raises, hang by a thread.
