Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor, Hon. Edward Onoja on Monday said that the senatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Barr. Natasha Akpoti lied against him in an attempt to evade campaigns.
Akpoti had earlier accused Onoja of personally driving to a police station to release some suspects who allegedly murdered one of her supporters, Enesi Ojo, from the Police Command in Lokoja.
In her words, “Edward Onoja drove personally to pick the men out of the Police Command.”
However, Onoja took to facebook in denial of the accusation, stating that he was away throughout the date Akpoti said the criminals were released.
“Natasha, go and sell your candidature to the people. Not using style to evade campaigns. On Saturday 26th January 2019, I was at four locations in Kogi East campaigning. I Left Lokoja 8am and returned just before midnight.
“It must have been my ghost you shamelessly lied on. Stop this desperate search for attention. National elections are less than 20 days away. Stop this game! Focus on your campaigns,” Onoja replied.
