Renowned policy strategist and whistle blower, Dr. Sandra Duru has reacted to the memo written by a former Minister of Education, Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili and addressed to President Bola Tinubu to halt the prosecution of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan over alleged defamatory remarks.
Dr. Duru who is one of the witnesses in the Federal Government suit against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, accused Ezekwesili of colluding with the Senator to emotionally blackmail the public and derail due judicial process.
In the statement posted on her social media pages, she accused Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan of orchestrating a deceitful public relations campaign to avoid submitting evidence before a competent court of law.
“Tell Natasha to bring her evidence. Period,” Duru said. “I do not bark back at noise; I cage it with dignity, strategy, and law. I do not operate in the mud of propaganda.”
She continued, “What we’re witnessing here is not courage. It is media cosplay and attention-seeking dressed in the borrowed robes of advocacy. It’s time to separate justice from drama.”
“No Background in Governance, No Business in the Senate”.
Duru questioned the very legitimacy of Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s political rise, describing her as “a product of seduction, sensationalism, and social manipulation,” with no formal background in public administration or legislative affairs.
“The Senate is a place for institutional wisdom. Natasha entered the chamber with noise, but no knowledge. She has weaponized seduction and emotional blackmail into a political career — from seduction to erection to destruction.”
Turning her attention to Dr. Ezekwesili, Duru accused the former minister of trying to hijack a legal matter for personal ends, warning that such behavior fuels public distrust in institutions.
“Oby Ezekwesili should be quiet and allow Natasha to present her evidence — which she obviously doesn’t have. What we’re witnessing is an attempt to shield someone from justice by framing her as a victim instead of letting the facts speak in court,” Duru added.
She warned that no amount of hashtags, protest letters, or emotional posturing can substitute for hard evidence before the law.
“If you allege sexual harassment, human organ harvesting, and threat to life — you must prove it. Not cry wolf on TV and then disappear when called to court.”
Duru also affirmed that she is ready to present her own verifiable evidence against the Senator in due course.
