By Tom Okpe
A pressure group from Kogi State, on the platform of ‘Action Collective’ has informed of a desperate plan to compile faceless names, purportedly, seeking for recall of Senator Natasha Akpoti–Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central in the Nation’s Upper House.
The group made this known in Abuja on Wednesday, while addressing a press conference, led by its National Coordinator, Dr Onimisi Ibrahim saying that intelligence, revealed that allies of those fighting Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan in the Nigerian Senate are behind the plot.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is presently serving six months suspension slammed on her over the sexual harassment allegation against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

According to the group, findings revealed that the latest move is considered by the embattled Senator traducers as ‘nailing the coffin’ to prevent her from seeking justice, which she is currently pursuing both here in Nigeria and from the international community.
He said: “We gathered reliably, that a former Governor in Kogi State has been contacted to carry out this evil plan. We also have an information that some allies of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, staff have also been recruited to commence the recall of Senator Natasha.
“This project which is said to gulp over two million Dollars, will involve the recruitment of faceless persons from the various Local Government Areas in Kogi State who would be paid to append false signatures on the purported recall paper,” the group alleged.
The group alleged that some highly placed INEC staff were paid huge sums of money to carry out the plan adding, “it is important to alert the public, especially the civil society and Human Rights Activists including the Media, who are the watchdog of the society.
“Also, the security agencies will remain vigilant and subject to such documents, regarding the planned recall to proper scrutiny.”
