Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has vehemently denied allegations that she was bribed to support Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan in her sexual harassment allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The claims surfaced after UK-based activist Sandra Duru, also known as Professor Mgbeke, accused Akpoti-Uduaghan of fabricating the allegations and claimed that Ezekwesili was paid to lend public backing.
In a swift response on her official X account, Ezekwesili dismissed the allegations, stressing that her support for Akpoti-Uduaghan stems from personal convictions, not financial inducements.

“I see how my unwavering support for your cry for justice has sent your adversaries into a frenzy—resorting to desperate, laughable falsehoods,” she wrote.
Ezekwesili emphasised her long-standing reputation for incorruptibility, assuring the public that monetary incentives have no power over her moral convictions. “No sensible and decent person who knows my incorruptible track record is deceived by the ridiculous fabrications being peddled by your traducers,” Ezekwesili added.

“They know—without a doubt—that no amount of money, not even all the wealth in every Central Bank in the world, can buy my convictions, voice, and stance on any matter I choose to support. So, worry not, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.”
Ezekwesili reaffirmed her continued and steadfast support for Akpoti-Uduaghan’s push for justice, calling for Akpabio to temporarily step aside for a fair investigation into the harassment allegations.
