OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA OTN News reports that the drama going on between Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has taken a new phase as a video which portrayed the senator representing Kogi State, Natasha, as a traditional worshipper has surfaced online with many doubting if that was her source of power 

OTN News further reports that this new drama erupted amid suspension and ongoing recall process of the Senator who later broke her silence.

Reacting to the video on her X page, Natasha rubbished the trending video portraying her as traditional worshipper, saying the footage is from 2015 CNN documentary, which captured the essence of Yoruba culture.

She maintained that she is a Christian, with a Muslim religion background, but she respect all legal aspects of Nigerian culture.

According to her, “My attention has been drawn to my feature in a 2015 @CNN documentary by @purefoyamebo which captured the essence of Yoruba culture through Aunty Nike of @nikeartgallery .

“Unscrupulous persons (like one in the attached) have maliciously misinterpreted the intent using @BattaBoxNIGERIA’s version of the documentary.

“As a Christian, daughter to a Muslim father, I respect all religions and appreciate the beauty in all legal aspects of Nigerian culture.

“Against intimidation, illegal suspension and fraudulent recall, I stand my ground on my Sexual Harassment claim against the Nigerian Senate President Godswill Akpabio.” She concluded.

OTN News recalls that Senator Natasha was suspended on March 6 for “gross misconduct” after a dispute over sitting arrangements with Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who she later accused of sexual harassment.

OTN News had earlier reported that no fewer than 250,000 registered voters in Kogi Central Senatorial District yesterday submitted a recall petition to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against the senator.
