Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Calls for Calm in Debt Dispute

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has urged for calm and dialogue in the ongoing debt dispute involving Traci Ohiri and former Ebonyi State governor David Umahi. In a public statement, Akpoti-Uduaghan called for restraint amid rising public interest and debate on social media regarding the matter.

She expressed appreciation for Nigerians who have spoken out about the situation, particularly regarding Ohiri's arrest linked to allegations of misconduct related to Umahi's ministry. Akpoti-Uduaghan condemned any form of coercion or intimidation, especially against women, and appealed for a peaceful resolution through constructive engagement.

She reaffirmed her commitment to justice and due process, indicating her intent to meet with the involved parties upon her return to Abuja to discuss possible resolutions. The controversy escalated following a viral video that surfaced, showing Ohiri allegedly assaulting individuals over unpaid campaign materials during political activities.

Akpoti-Uduaghan's intervention comes amid a firm denial from Umahi regarding the deployment of police against Ohiri.
