The North-Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum has described the sexual harassment allegations levelled against Senate President Godswill Akpabio by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (PDP, Kogi Central), as a script to blackmail Akpabio and discredit the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led government.
The Forum in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja by its Chairman, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, also warned protesters to stop staging protest and demanding Akpabio’s resignation or face counter protests.
Recall that protesters from Kogi Central on Wednesday besieged the entrance gate to the National Assembly demanding Akpabio’s resignation over the alleged sexual advances at Senator Natasha.
But Alhaji Zazzaga, member of the APC presidential campaign council in the 2023 election said the protesters were mobilised to cause unrest and anarchy in the FCT.
He said, “We are putting the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services, DSS, and other security agencies on the alert over the plot to cause anarchy and unrest in the FCT by sponsored protesters who have been mobilised to cause trouble to advance the political agenda of the opposition.
“We are by this statement giving the protesters and their sponsors 24 hours to vacate the streets of the FCT. As stakeholders of the North-Central, which includes the FCT, we can’t stand by and watch as hoodlums and anarchists cause a breakdown of law and order in the capital city, which has been known for peace and tranquility since the coming of the administration of President Bola Tibubu.
“Failing to vacate the streets of the FCT in 24 hours, we will mobilise our people to counter them, “the statement read in part.
“Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is from our zone but as stakeholders of the North-Central, we disown her actions, which we believe are not in the interest of the progress and development of the region and the country as a whole.”
