By joshua Sandra Duru Is A Liar: Senator Natasha Never Paid Dr Oby Ezekwesili Any Kobo, Says Mazi Obinna
In a shocking exposé that has sent ripples through Nigeria’s political and civil society spaces, new revelations from a live interview with Mazi Obinna on Adeola Fayehun’s YouTube livestream have exposed on May 12, 2025 what appears to be an orchestrated campaign of falsehood against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. At the centre of this scandal is Sandra Duru, aka, Prof. Mgbeke, a woman now facing intense public scrutiny over fabricated claims involving respected former Minister of Education, Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili.
Mazi Obinna, once a willing accomplice in Sandra’s propaganda machinery, has now disowned the narrative he helped spread, stating that he was misled and manipulated into believing he was working in national interest. In his explosive interview, he made it unequivocally clear that there is no audio, video, document, or shred of credible proof showing that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan paid Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili any money to disrupt Senate proceedings.
“Sandra told me things that made me think I was working for a cause, but it was all lies. She cut and edited audios. She sent me voice notes that had no truth in them,” Mazi revealed with remorse.
The allegation, first floated by Sandra C Duru, during one of her controversial Facebook livestreams, suggested that Senator Natasha was funnelling money to Dr. Ezekwesili to influence legislative chaos within the Senate. That narrative, now exposed as fiction, was reportedly part of a broader blackmail and political character assassination plot allegedly engineered by Sandra with promises of political reward if Natasha’s image could be destroyed.
Mazi admitted that Sandra told him the President (referred to as “No.1”) and the Senate President (“No.3”) had assured her that if the plan succeeded, she would secure the Imo governorship ticket and he (Mazi Obinna) would be made her Chief of Staff. But it was during the course of this deception that Mazi began to see cracks in the story.
“She lied that Natasha said all these things. I listened to the audio Sandra claimed was from Senator Natasha myself, and none of those things were there. Even the ones she sent to me, most of them were doctored,” Mazi said, admitting he cannot confirm the origin of any of the voice notes.
He has now declared himself ready to submit his phones to appropriate authorities for forensic scrutiny, insisting that all audio files and chats originated from Sandra Duru herself.
This revelation now clears the name of Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili, a woman whose global reputation for integrity and good governance has stood untainted for decades. Her image was dragged into this political filth without justification or evidence.
Political analysts are now calling for the immediate investigation of Sandra Duru for criminal defamation and malicious spread of misinformation. There are also calls for the security agencies to take this matter seriously given the implication that high ranking government officials may have been falsely invoked as sponsors of this evil plot.
As the nation awaits further developments, what remains certain is this: no audio exists, no transaction occurred, and no truth supports the claim that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan paid Dr. Obiageli Ezekwesili to interfere in Senate affairs.
This entire lie was born, bred, and fed by Sandra Duru aka Prof. Mgbeke, a woman whose desperate ambition may have now become her ultimate downfall.
