DASH THEM 50 – SANDRA DURU RELEASES VIDEO SHOWING NATASHA AKPOTI MANIPULATING KOGI SENATORIAL ELECTION

Controversy surrounding Kogi Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan deepened as activist Sandra Duru released a new video purportedly capturing Akpoti at a collation centre during the 2023 Kogi elections, allegedly instructing her agents to “dash them 50” votes — a phrase many interprete as an attempt to manipulate vote counts in favor of her opponents.

The video, though partially inaudible, shows Natasha in conversation with her team during the tense collation process. Social media users and political commentators are already in uproar, suggesting the footage points to deliberate electoral compromise.

The phrase “you can dash them 50,” which some argue implies gifting 50 votes to an opponent to manage optics or distract from a wider manipulation effort, has sparked intense backlash.

This follows a series of audio clips previously leaked by Sandra Duru — who has been leading a public campaign accusing Senator Akpoti of falsely alleging sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

The mounting releases have placed the senator under serious public and political scrutiny.

It will be recalled that Akpoti initially lost at the polls in 2023 but later secured her Senate seat via court judgment. Critics now question the legitimacy of that outcome in light of the newly surfaced material.

“This is no longer something she can deny, she cannot say this is Ai generated again” one user posted on X (formerly Twitter), as hashtags like #NatashaExposed and #RiggingRevelation trend across platforms.

As of the time of filing this report, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has not released an official statement in response to the latest allegations.
