The embattled lawmaker made the allegations while addressing her supporters, who gave her a rousing welcome during her homecoming on Tuesday.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the suspended senator representing Kogi Central, has alleged that the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio and former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, plotted to kill her.
The embattled lawmaker made the allegations while addressing her supporters, who gave her a rousing welcome during her homecoming on Tuesday.
She said although the plot was not made public, the Nigeria Police Force has since been notified.
According to her, Akpabio initiated her recall process after allegedly promising the former governor funds.
She said, “On the 13th of March at 10:00 pm, mind you, two days before that, Akpabio had called Governor Ododo on the phone to commence my recall but Ododo told him it would be impossible.
“Ododo told Akpabio that the recall will be impossible because the masses are with me. But Akpabio was not satisfied so he called Yahaya Bello. I was informed of everything.
“The meeting was on two folds – they told him to commence my recall and that he was going to fund it.
“The second thing he said was that he should try and kill me. I didn’t make this public, but I have written to the IG of Police.
“Akpabio told Yahaya Bello that he should make sure that killing me does not happen in Abuja, that it should happen here so that it will look as if it was the people that killed me here.”
