REBUTTAL TO Oby Ezekwesili’S EMOTIVE PROPAGANDA MASQUERADING AS A MEMO
Madam Ezekwesili, your desperate attempt to reframe Natasha Akpoti’s well-documented pattern of falsehood and political manipulation as a “cry for justice” is not only intellectually dishonest but also a gross insult to the intelligence of Nigerians and the integrity of our legal system.
Let’s be clear: support for justice must be rooted in veritas—truth. What you are defending is not justice. It’s the weaponization of gender narratives and public sympathy to obstruct lawful inquiries and shield your political ally from the consequences of her own inconsistencies, contradictions, and complete lack of admissible evidence.
You claim an incorruptible record, yet your actions now speak volumes: inserting yourself into an ongoing legislative probe to stir public sentiment and derail due process under the guise of activism. This is a classic case of obstruction of justice in spirit, and if not, in letter. If you were truly concerned about justice, you would advocate for facts, evidence, and procedure, and not emotional distractions or social media theatrics.
Madam, your role as a former public servant comes with a moral duty not to lend your voice to charades designed to manipulate the judiciary of public opinion. Your endorsement of a clearly discredited narrative bereft of verifiable proof is not activism; it is complicity.
No matter how many sentimental hashtags or “unwavering memos” you post, the law is not swayed by emotional blackmail or public posturing. It is guided by actus reus, mens rea, and prima facie evidence. And on all three fronts, Natasha Akpoti has woefully failed.
To the Nigerian people: the committee investigating these serious allegations must not be deliberately disrupted by individuals who exploit gender solidarity to shield political allies. No form of orchestrated interference or misplaced loyalty should be allowed to obstruct a lawful process grounded in truth, evidence, and justice. ( Though, its been adjourned indefinitely as Natasha exclaimed and celebrated )
Justice is not a gendered performance. It is a matter of fact, law, and conscience.
Respectfully,
A Defender of Due Process and the Dignity of Womanhood

Ms Duru should have simply referred to public admissions and declarations by Madam Ezekwesili that she told a Senator to "shut up" during the session and that she intentionally went there to provoke the men (apart from those who accompanied her) at the session in the expectation that they will be misogynistic in response.
ReplyDeleteMadam Ezekwesili's admission and declaration show she went to the Senate hearing to be disruptive. There are better ways to show the Senate was wrong than to provoke and do the proverbial "if you are a man beat me" tongue prod in public affairs matters.
Madam Ezekwesili dropped the ball. She should keep quiet on this and ride the storm especially in the sound of Madam Natasha's voice note corroborating essentially what she herself has already admitted in public and is on video record.
One of the hallmarks of being a "big person" is to admit mistakes, and not to cover them by "big person-ness". After all, to err is human... Being a "former that" and "current this" in status does not make a human being a divinity.
Man! Mgbeke or whatever should stfu! You’re friends with akpabio so, you’re also protecting your own selfish interests. Don’t come here to act like you genuinely care about a person falsifying information. Besides, the fact that you recorded Natasha’s conversations and revealed them because yall fell out, speaks to the disloyal and untrustworthy traits you possess. You’re dangerous and unreliable. You could do the same thing you’re doing now to akpabio or even Stella, when things don’t go your way or you get a better offer that benefits you. You turn on anyone fit your benefit. You’re not a credible source and no one rates you!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou have said it all.
Very disloyal human being seeking relevance. I didn't know her before this Natasha's issue.
So she should keep the info and allow Natasha to keep deceiving the public. You'd rather prefer it that way abi? Una no serious at all. All of you are hypocrites.
DeleteAnon 0.53, You see how the anon up wrote with points, instances and not sentiments. So credible source should maintain lies and watch others go down. I understood Nigerians find it difficult to have a change of mind especially when they believed a particular person, but sometimes listen to others with open mind.
DeleteMadam Mgbeke welldone o, but I think this issue doesn't really concern the Nigerian populace, asides from the politicians involved. So keep talking, plus you, Natasha and Co, all of you are the same.
ReplyDeleteIn all this, I hope we understand that audio conversations can be generated - even videos. All it takes is a sample of the victim's recorded audio voice, and the rest, they say, is history.
