PROF. MGBEKE WAS PAID TO SAY I PLOTTED AGAINST TINUBU'S YORUBA LED GOVERNMENT: SENATOR NATASHA DEBUNKS FALSE ALLEGATIONS ON 37 MINUTES CALL
The Kogi Senator exposes deep political sabotage, accuses Sandra Duru of cloning her voice, forging evidence, and acting on behalf of her powerful enemies.
In what now appears to be a rapidly unravelling plot laced with deceit, fabrication, and digital impersonation, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has come forward with more damning revelations that could dismantle the federal case allegedly built on a foundation of lies orchestrated by self styled “Professor Mgbeke” Sandra Duru: a woman now at the centre of one of the most disgraceful political scandals Nigeria has witnessed in recent years.
Speaking from London in a YouTube Live interview, the embattled senator, who confirmed her return to Nigeria in time for the scheduled court appearance on June 3rd at 2pm, categorically debunked allegations that she ever discussed bribery, blackmail, or tribal hate during her short lived communication with Sandra Duru. She disclosed that her entire voice conversation with the woman lasted only 37 minutes and focused purely on appreciation and advocacy, and nothing more. However, four hours after that single call, Sandra sent what the senator described as a well crafted text message, soliciting a contract and asking “how she would be taken care of,” a development that now raises serious questions about Sandra’s real motives and her sudden emergence as a witness for the federal government.
Senator Natasha made it clear that at no point in their brief encounter did she ever deny her sexual harassment allegations against the Senate President, nor did she call Nigerians “gullible and hungry” as falsely attributed to her in the yet to be released doctored audio tapes from the impostor Prof. Mgbeke.
“I never said anything about destroying Tinubu’s government or poisoning my husband. The nonsense about calling FIDA or anyone else a ‘useful idiot’ is a complete fabrication of Sandra’s lies. If they have evidence, let them bring it before the court. I’m ready,” she said.
The senator expressed deep suspicion that Prof. Mgbeke, now Sandra Duru, who she believed was a genuine women’s rights advocate, used AI voice cloning technology to manufacture audio evidence against her. She noted the tone mismatch in some leaked recordings, pointing out that her real voice during interviews and direct phone conversations had clearly been tampered with to stitch together falsehoods. “She took my real voice saying things I never said, and inserted other digitally manipulated statements I never made. I know how I sound, and that’s not me,” Senator Natasha insisted.
The senator further disclosed that Sandra sent a long message post call, positioning herself as a potential mediator in the sexual harassment case. In her message, Sandra reportedly wrote: “Please let me know if you would like to formally engage my services or support my team in executing the strategy we have carefully put together to resolve this matter effectively.” Senator Natasha questioned: “How does someone I supposedly paid ₦200 million to blackmail the Senate President begin their message with a language like that?”
She read out the message word-for-word during the interview. Sandra had requested details about Natasha’s goals, timelines, and even offered to coordinate a closed door negotiation involving Senator Akpabio, her husband, and Senator Natasha herself. “She was angling for a formal engagement and even asked if we should all meet somewhere to resolve the case. It’s clear now she was fishing for a contract, for influence, for money, and for leverage,” Senator Natasha said.
In reply, Senator Natasha politely declined and maintained a tone of professionalism, referring to her as “Dear Professor” and reiterating that she had only reached out out of appreciation and solidarity on gender based advocacy. “If you stop chanting our cause, know I still deeply appreciate your sisterhood spirit,” she wrote, making it clear she would not be going into any contract with Prof. Mgbeke, who now parades as one Sandra Duru.
Rather than back off, Sandra doubled down, claiming in a follow up message that her work had nothing to do with money and insisted that formalising their arrangement was simply for “clarity, coordination and commitment.” Senator Natasha scoffed at this, saying “Only God knows what kind of invoice she would have dropped if I had fallen for it. She was preparing the ground for extortion masked in flowery English.”
Perhaps the most shocking part of the revelation was Senator Natasha’s confirmation that all these messages and conversations had already been printed, digitally archived, and sent to Nigerian security agencies, yet no single inquiry was made into Sandra’s criminal attempt to bait her into a contractual arrangement, nor into the fabrication of damaging audio evidence.
“It’s sad that the police are even entertaining this woman as a federal witness. She was pushing for a contract that I turned down, and now she wants to hang me in public with forged tapes and false accusations? It’s laughable,” Senator Natasha said.
She reminded the Nigerian public that her political grievances are not against President Tinubu or the Nigerian Senate, but strictly targeted at the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, whom she accuses of using the federal institutions as a personal weapon to crush dissent. She acknowledged that she had met President Tinubu on occasion to brief him on critical issues like the Ajaokuta steel probe, and he had never once disapproved.
Senator Natasha ended the interview by assuring Nigerians that she would not run, but would appear in court, and would defend her integrity with truth and evidence. “This fight is not just about me, but about women. It’s about the danger of fake advocacy, and it’s about not letting charlatans hijack our democracy. Sandra Duru’s not just lying to the world, but mocking the pain of real victims, and that cannot go unchallenged.”
