In a revelation that has shaken the political undercurrents between the North and South, Mazi Obinna has exposed what he described as a deliberate plot by Sandra Duru, known on Facebook as “Prof. Mgbeke,” to pit the Yoruba people against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan by falsely attributing to her an anti-Yoruba comment she never made.
In a YouTube live interview aired on Adeola Fayehun’s show, Mazi Obinna, a close political associate of Sandra, openly confessed that no such anti-Yoruba claim existed in the materials she gave him. He said Senator Natasha never stated she was “sponsored to bring down the Yoruba-led government,” calling the allegation a complete fabrication by Sandra Duru, aimed at inflaming ethnic sentiment and destroying the senator’s credibility.
He further revealed that Sandra inserted the falsehood into a wider ethnic narrative crafted to make Senator Natasha appear tribalistic. The goal, he said, was to isolate her politically and turn one of Nigeria’s most influential ethnic blocs against her, particularly in her ongoing clash with Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Initially believing he was part of a legitimate media campaign, Obinna said he became alarmed after watching Sandra fabricate accusations that had no basis in the recordings she previously shared with him. “This was a lie scripted by Sandra Duru,” he said during the interview, where he also disclosed that Sandra paid him 2.5 million naira for the job. He admitted he was misled until Sandra began spinning stories that never appeared in the original audio files.
One of the most disturbing pieces in the material he received was Sandra’s own voice insulting Senator Natasha. In the recording, she mocked the senator with names like “LIETASHA ONE,” “LIETASHA TWO,” “LIETASHA THREE,” and more degrading slurs such as “LIETASHA JEZEBEL,” “LIETASHA POTIPHAR’S WIFE,” and “LIETASHA DELILAH.” These were not political criticisms but cruel, personalised insults aimed at stripping Senator Natasha of dignity and womanhood.
He affirmed that Senator Natasha never labelled Nigerians as G&H as in “Gullible and Hungry,” all these, according to him, were scripted lies handed to him by Sandra Duru in the script called “LIETASHA.”
As at May 1st 2025, Sandra had gone live on Facebook to peddle one of the most dangerous lies in recent democratic history, that Senator Natasha was “sponsored to bring down the Yoruba-led government.” That livestream, now widely discredited, was packed with unprovoked ethnic insinuations and unverifiable claims that threatened to ignite tribal tensions.
Obinna, visibly disturbed, said his conscience could no longer stay silent after witnessing Sandra go public with lies she never included in the materials she gave him.
“I am a father,” he said. “I have a daughter. I cannot watch this happen to another man’s daughter and wife and be silent.”
He described Sandra’s plan as “evil and unpatriotic,” a campaign of ethnic blackmail calculated to provoke public hatred.
Sandra’s claim that Senator Natasha was part of a Northern plot to undermine a Yoruba-led government, Obinna said, was not only false but deeply dangerous and designed to turn patriotism into suspicion, reducing a courageous woman into an ethnic threat.
Obinna’s confession now raises deeper questions: Who is funding Sandra Duru? Why would she go this far to malign Senator Natasha with ethnic propaganda? What kind of political system rewards this level of dishonesty?
Even more alarming is the fact that Sandra pushed these accusations without a single piece of verifiable evidence. She came online, claimed to have “proof”, and poured venom into the public domain and all while relying on voice recordings that no investigative body has confirmed to be authentic.
If no such voice note exists, then who invented this claim? Who gave Sandra the boldness to declare such a dangerous statement on a public platform? And who profits if Senator Natasha is wrongly seen not as a principled fighter against harassment, but as a tribal saboteur?
In a country where ethnic tension has led to broken families and bloodshed, this sort of reckless deception cannot go unchallenged. This is no longer political rivalry but a dangerous game with Nigeria’s fragile unity.
