Bello congratulated Natasha and described her as his sister, and said it was necessary for him to accept the court verdict on her victory to avoid a breakdown of law and order in the state.
Natasha, who appeared on Channels Television on Tuesday evening October 31, 2023, accused the governor attempting to kill her on different occasions....
“I would pretty much wish you had not played the Governor’s message here because I’m just getting to watch it now,” she said on Channels Television.
“He said this is the beauty of politics, this is not the beauty of politics. You don’t endanger yourself, set out to kill people, destroy property and frustrate the electoral process because you want your candidate to win and call it the beauty of democracy.
“I heard guns, I had his hunchmen shoot at my vehicle. I have video evidence of that. They wore APC shirts and one of them was Amoka, he was actually a Returning Officer… he led the group of 10 men to shoot at me. I have the videos capturing that.
“And apart from that, a day to the election, the governor dug five gullies, cutting off five roads and that was just to prevent election from going on and probably endangering my life.”
Alleging that the governor was desperate to be a godfather, Akpoti suggested that Bello does not like being dared, adding that he always wants his words to be law.
“In 2018 before I joined the SDP and contested for the senatorial seat, I was in APC for pretty much three months, and I will say this, the governor called on me just like he called on 9 other aspirants at that time and telling each and everyone to step down, to some people he offered money, he offered me money as well,” she said.
“He offered me 50 million at first I turned it down, he said how about 70 million for you to step down for my anointed candidate who was the then senator, I rejected the money I told him i wasn’t in the race for money,” she added.
