A former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan and Civil Rights Lawyer, Reno Omokri, has accused former Kogi governorship candidate, Natasha Akpoti, of lying that he flirted with her while in government.
The lawyer posted a series of Instagram posts from him and his accuser, to puncture the accusations from the beautiful politician.
Akpoti in a post on her verified Instagram page, mocked the former aide to the president, saying his lack of access to government funds has made him a bitter person.

She went further, to accuse him of flirting with her at an event organized to honor Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta at the presidential villa.
“Dear Reno Omokri, I understand how boring and bitter life must be for you away in the US on asylum.
“No more access to your numerous iPhone 2 girlfriends… most of whom you got into Sure P through your office as an SA to President Goodluck Jonathan.
“Weren’t you married then?
“I rejected your silly advances in 2014 at the Villa’s banquet hall during President Uhuru Kenyatta’s reciprocated visit…
“I gave you a fake name and a false contact number but …” she posted.
Omokri, who claimed not to know who Akpoti was until his assistant helped out, said the politician lied because the event she was referring to happened while he was out of the country.
He also provided a lot of documents to back up his claim that she lied, saying he is a very meticulous person.
“Dear Natasha H Akpoti, Thank you for your comment. I did not know who you were until my assistant Googled you and briefed me. You claimed I made a pass at you during an Aso Rock reception for President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya in 2014.
“The ONLY time a State Banquet was held for President Uhuru Kenyatta during then President Jonathan’s tenure was when he visited Nigeria between May 4 to May 7, 2014, to reciprocate a visit that President Jonathan made to him in Kenya between September 5-6, 2013.
“You claimed I made a pass at you at that Aso Rock reception and I also asked for your number, of which you gave me a fake name and number. Interesting.
“Please find attached my passport. As a Presidential spokesman, I had a special passport. Do note the US immigration stamp on my passport showing that I entered the United States of America on April 28, 2014.
“Also, you may want to note the other immigration stamp from Murtala Mohammed Airport showing I did not return to Nigeria until June 23, 2014.
“I also have multiple iPhone photos that I took at my children’s school between May 2-4, 2014. As you may know, Apple iPhone timestamps photos with dated metadata.
“In addition, I have a written memo from former President Jonathan permitting me to travel to the United States for my annual leave for that period (as a Presidential spokesman, you can’t leave Abuja without the President’s approval).
“I am thus at a loss about your accusations. Perhaps you met a demon at Aso Rock that took up my form because I was not in Nigeria on the day you said you met me.
“Finally, please do note that I am a meticulous record keeper. And like I said, I have an iPhone 13 at home. Why would I ever be even remotely interested in an old Nokia 3310? ” he posted in reply.
Omokri was part of the former administration under President Goodluck Jonathan, he has since relocated to the United States, where he often gives his opinion about happenings in the country, he is an ardent critic of the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
