Social media activist VeryDarkman has accused Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of using bloggers and online platforms to push what he described as a “blackmail” and propaganda agenda against some individuals in the name of politics.
VeryDarkman made the allegation in a video he posted on his official Facebook handle on Monday while analysing two audio recordings released by Sandra Duru, popularly known online as Prof Mgbeke. One of the recordings was presented as a conversation involving Akpoti-Uduaghan and an unknown blogger.
Commenting on the recording, VeryDarkman said it suggested that the senator had access to bloggers who helped advance political narratives.
“From this call, it is very, very clear that Natasha has a lot of bloggers on her payroll that help her do blackmailing, agenda, propaganda,” he said.
He further described Akpoti-Uduaghan as “a liar, a manipulator and a blackmailer,” while accusing her of attempting to influence public opinion against Akpabio.
On the newly released recording, however, VeryDarkman said its authenticity should not be dismissed as artificial intelligence-generated.
“Don’t bother yourself to come to this media or another thing because the moment you start on an ego first talk against you, you have lost that right,” he said.
The activist also urged Duru to release more evidence relating to alleged corruption, saying, “Bring it on, bring it on. We’ll amplify it for you. Corruption have no space in Nigeria.”
VeryDarkman also warned Akpoti-Uduaghan against returning to social media to make allegations or push narratives against other people, saying her credibility would be questioned following the latest recording.
“Don’t bother yourself to come to this media or another thing because the moment you start on an ego first talk against you, you have lost that right to come on this social media again with any topic and say they are doing this, they are doing that,” he said.
He added, “You have lost that right. You are the same as them.”
VeryDarkman maintained that Nigerians should not allow politicians to use them as “pawns” in political disputes, saying, “Nigerians are like the bargaining chip… we are nothing but pencil in your people’s hands.”
