A group, Concerned Constituents of Kogi Central, has condemned the ongoing process to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, describing the exercise as a charade.
In a statement signed by Adeiza Eneji, the group accused a former Governor of the state, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, of deploying deceitful tactics to hoodwink unsuspecting electorate.
The group said the recall process is a ploy to prevent the investigation into sexual harassment allegations made by Natasha against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
“We strongly condemn the deceitful tactics employed by Yahaya Bello and his allies, who are disguising a recall process as an empowerment program in Kogi Central senatorial district.
“This charade, orchestrated in collaboration with Senate President Godswill Akpabio, aims to prevent an investigation into the sexual harassment allegations made by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
“Constituents are being misled into participating in this evil, unaware that they are actually initiating a recall process. This is an attempt to settle scores with Senator Natasha, who defeated Bello’s candidate in the last senatorial election,” he said.
The group urged the people of Kogi Central to use all legal means to stop the deceptive scheme and continue raising awareness.
“Senator Natasha has consistently delivered quality representation, and we see no justification for her recall.
“The relative peace we are enjoying in Kogi Central senatorial district must not be jeopardized.
“We call on the Federal government and the APC National to call former Governor Yahaya Bello and the Kogi State government to order and immediately put an end to this charade.
“We are pleased with the quality representation of Distinguished Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and pass vote of confidence on her.”
