Sen. Karimi Slams Natasha, Says Yahaya Bello Saw It Coming

Senator Sunday Karimi, an All Progressive Congress (APC) Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, has defended former Governor Yahaya Bello, claiming that recent Senate events have vindicated the ex-governor’s stance.

Sen. Karimi expressed his disappointment in a press statement made available to journalists on Sunday in Lokoja, amid a heated debate over Sen. Natasha’s actions in the Senate.

According to him, the ongoing dispute between Senator Natasha Akpoti Udaughan and Senate President Godswill Akpabio has brought shame and embarrassment to Kogi State.

Karimi expressed dismay that Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State, had predicted the current situation, implying that Sen. Natah’s actions were predictable.

The Senator expressed disappointment that, despite his advice and appeals to Sen. Natasha, she has refused to listen, resulting in a situation that has harmed the state’s reputation.

Sen. Karimi emphasised that Yahaya Bello’s foresight and commitment to having quality representatives have been justified by the current events in the Senate.

“Our advice to her fell on deaf ears.” As a result, it is impossible to accept Yahaya Bello’s prediction.

“Sen. Natasha has not only trashed the state, but based on current events and what is going on in the state and across the federation, Kogi as a whole is in a real mess in terms of our perception,” Karimi said.
