Natasha Akpoti has once again changed her narrative regarding her political challenges, now claiming that her removal was due to the LNG plants she allegedly facilitated in Kogi State, rather than the earlier allegations of sexual harassment. Speaking at her rally today, she accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello of conspiring to have her eliminated in Kogi.
This latest claim comes despite the Ministry of Petroleum denying her involvement in the facilitation of any LNG projects, which the ministry claimed was cited due to existing plants and pipeline projects in Ajaokuta. Her statements have been met with widespread skepticism, particularly on Facebook, where many users criticized her for inconsistencies and probable emotional blackmails in her story.
Previously, Natasha had alleged that she was targeted over sexual harassment concerns against the Senate president, Godswill Akpabio, a claim that fueled public sympathy. However, her sudden shift in position has led to accusations of political blackmail against the Senate leadership and the Kogi State government.
Her speech today has reignited debates over her credibility, with critics pointing to a pattern of shifting narratives depending on public sentiment. Many observers believe that Natasha’s allegations are aimed at gaining sympathy ahead of upcoming political battles.
