Senator Natasha Akpoti has firmly denied claims that she received ₦500 million from Senate President Godswill Akpabio, calling the allegation a “deliberate falsehood” meant to create unnecessary controversy.
In a statement, Akpoti clarified that she had never received any amount from Akpabio and had never made any statement suggesting otherwise.
“Let me be clear: I have never received ₦500 million or any amount from Senator Akpabio. At no time did I make any statement suggesting such. This is nothing but a deliberate falsehood aimed at causing unnecessary controversy,” she said.
The senator emphasized that her focus remains on serving her constituents with transparency and dedication, rather than engaging in “baseless distractions.”
She also condemned the spread of misinformation, stating that defamation and character assassination should have no place in society.
“I am confident that the truth will always prevail,” she added.
The senator urged security agencies to identify the source of the false information and take appropriate action against those involved. She also reiterated her dedication to upholding truth and justice.
