Photo credit@natashaakpoti Source: InstagramVDM, visibly unsettled, said the content caught him off guard. “It cringed me.
It was unexpected. But then again, she’s a politician at the end of the day,” he stated.VDM’s warning on the AI debateThe activist also pre-empted any attempt by either party to dismiss the recordings as artificial intelligence fabrications. He pointed out that if Natasha’s team labelled her clip as AI-generated, the same logic would be applied to Akpabio’s recording, which he said contained “more juice.” He urged both sides to avoid going down that route.VDM also revisited the 2025 saga in which Natasha was suspended from the Senate following a clash with Akpabio. He recalled how she had publicly accused the Senate President of having a personal vendetta against her after she allegedly rejected his advances, taking the matter as far as the United Nations.

You want to poison the minds of Nigerians now.”@Outcrpt said: “And she will be posing as a saint Nigeria needs cleansing ngl.”@Deo_wealth commented: “VDM himself is on the payroll of a politician.”@Abdulya645 reacted: “It’s obvious now that VDM is working for the APC; if not, what is this… We are talking about 37 people who just died; this is here talking about something that’s not important to talk about now.”Radiogad slams VDM over Bobrisky Legit.ng reported that the media personality, Radiogad, was not happy with the way VDM reacted after Bobrisky shared the names of people who helped him.
