The political and social sphere has been stirred by a growing feud involving Kogi politician Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, and the Women for Democratic Action (WDA). In a critical development, Natasha Akpoti Speaks Out publicly to address the mounting allegations and the intensifying media focus on her, following threats by Ogala to expose alleged incriminating evidence.
The controversy escalated when actress Doris Ogala, already in the public eye due to her personal crisis involving a popular cleric, vowed to release sensitive information concerning Natasha Akpoti. Ogala’s public threats suggested she possessed evidence that could implicate the politician in matters she considered less than ethical or transparent.
While the exact nature of the threatened “incriminating evidence” remains undisclosed, the promise to reveal it has cast a shadow over Akpoti-Uduaghan, a prominent figure known for her political activism and senatorial ambition in Kogi State. The situation created a media frenzy, demanding a response from the politician to clarify her stance and integrity.

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan took to her own platform to directly counter the threats and allegations. In her statement, she adopted a tone of defiance combined with a call for caution and focus.
- Challenging the Evidence: Akpoti-Uduaghan boldly challenged Ogala to release whatever evidence she claimed to possess, stating that she had nothing to hide. This tactic appeared aimed at diminishing the credibility of the threats by inviting public scrutiny.
- Focus on Political Motivation: While not directly naming her, the politician implied that the allegations were politically motivated, possibly orchestrated by opponents seeking to derail her political career and public image. She urged her supporters and the general public to disregard what she termed “distractions” intended to divert attention from legitimate governance and political discourse.
- Emphasis on Legal Recourse: Akpoti-Uduaghan emphasized that she would explore all legal avenues to address what she considers defamatory attacks on her character, signaling that the issue may transition from a social media feud to a legal battle.
Adding a layer of gravity to the saga, the Women for Democratic Action (WDA), a civil society group focused on advocating for female political participation and accountability, weighed in on the matter.
The WDA did not take sides in the personal conflict but expressed deep concern that such high-profile, personalized attacks could distract from democratic values and discourage women from participating actively in politics. The group emphasized the need for political actors to address issues of governance and integrity through legitimate channels rather than resorting to smear campaigns or personal attacks fueled by sensationalism. The WDA urged all parties to operate within the bounds of respect and focus on constructive civic engagement.
The public feud highlights the increasingly challenging landscape for Nigerian politicians, particularly women, where personal crises and threats of exposure frequently intersect with professional aspirations.
