Ogala: People Have Asked Me, Sue Her For This, I Know People Like That, Reno Pulled That Card-Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has reacted to public allegations made against her by Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, dismissing the claims as an attention-seeking move rather than a matter requiring legal action.

The Kogi Central lawmaker addressed the controversy during an interview on the Mic-On podcast, where she was asked to respond to Ogala’s Instagram post in which the actress claimed to possess damaging evidence against her.

Speaking during the interview, Akpoti-Uduaghan stated clearly that she does not know Doris Ogala personally and has never had any form of relationship, interaction, or business dealings with her. According to the senator, the online call-out came as no shock, as she believes such accusations are often made by individuals seeking relevance through controversy, especially when public figures are involved.

The senator disclosed that following the viral post, several people advised her to take legal action against the actress by filing a defamation lawsuit. However, she explained that she deliberately chose not to pursue that option, citing her years of experience in the political space and her familiarity with similar situations.

Akpoti-Uduaghan noted that throughout her political journey, she has encountered individuals who employ what she described as a predictable tactic making loud, unsubstantiated accusations in the public domain to provoke reactions, attract attention, or gain sympathy. In her view, responding with threats or court cases often only fuels such strategies.

Drawing a comparison to a past experience, the senator referenced public commentator Reno Omokri, suggesting that she had previously witnessed similar approaches being used against her. She emphasized that these experiences have shaped how she now responds to public accusations, choosing calm engagement over confrontation.

Addressing the substance of Ogala’s claims, Akpoti-Uduaghan openly challenged the actress to present any evidence she claims to possess. She urged Ogala to release whatever materials she alleged existed, including audio recordings, text messages, financial transactions, or any other documentation, rather than making vague assertions on social media.

In her words, “People have asked me, Natasha, sue her, call her for this. I know people like that, Reno Omokri pulled that card as well.”

The senator stressed that public accusations without proof do not advance meaningful discourse and only contribute to misinformation. She maintained that if any wrongdoing had occurred, the appropriate course of action would be to present credible evidence to the public or relevant authorities.
