Unveiling The Recall Saga: Lawyer Accuses Kogi State Gov Of Orchestrating Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's Recall

Victor Giwa Speaks Out: Kogi State Government Allegedly Behind Suspended Lawmaker's Recall

Listen up, folks. Victor Giwa, one of the lawyers fiercely defending Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, is making waves with his accusations. During a recent appearance on Channels Television, Giwa boldly claimed that the Kogi State Government is pulling the strings behind the recall of the suspended female lawmaker. This isn't just any random move—it's a calculated political strategy, according to Giwa.

Who’s Leading the Charge?

Here's the kicker: Giwa pointed fingers directly at Charity Omole, an aide to Governor Usman Ododo, accusing her of spearheading the recall efforts. This isn't just about policy or performance; it's deeply rooted in politics. Giwa insists that this entire recall process is being driven by the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration in the state, targeting Akpoti-Uduaghan, a proud member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Giwa's Take on the Recall Process

Now, let's dive into what Giwa had to say about the recall process itself. According to him, this isn't just a straightforward procedure—it's practically impossible to pull off unless it's done underhandedly. He emphasized, "The truth of the matter is that there is no way the recall process can go through except it is done fraudulently." The process is no joke; it involves around 15 stages, making it a painstakingly complex ordeal. Giwa described it as "a tortuous and practically impossible process," and rightly so.

The Real Reason Behind the Recall

So, why is this happening? Giwa is clear: the recall isn't based on issues or performance. Instead, it's retaliation. Akpoti-Uduaghan made bold accusations of sexual harassment against Akpabio, and this is the fallout. Giwa slammed the state government, alleging they're sponsoring this entire recall process against Akpoti-Uduaghan, using Omole as their puppet. He stated, "In this case, the lady that led that protest is the senior special assistant to the governor of Kogi State on women and youths. You will see that is government-sponsored recall."

Giwa further explained, "Charity Ijese Omole is currently the senior special assistant to the governor of Kogi State on women and youths. It is more or less the government sponsoring this process, not the constituents, and that fundamentally has faulted the process." He emphasized that the recall process should stem from the constituents, not from government interference. "The process of recall must be such that is initiated from the constituents but in this case, we can see the handwriting on the wall; it is the governor that is trying to do whatever they claim they are doing," Giwa concluded.

Final Thoughts

This case isn't just about a recall—it's about the integrity of the political system and the rights of elected officials. Giwa's claims raise serious questions about the motivations behind the recall and the role of the Kogi State Government in this drama. As the situation unfolds, the eyes of the nation are on Kogi, watching to see if justice will prevail or if politics will once again overshadow principle.
