Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from Kogi Central has confidently expressed her views following her stylish return to her constituency.
A short while ago, it was reported that she arrived by helicopter, even though there is a state ban on rallies and limits on public gatherings.
Earlier that same day, Hon. Amoka Eneji, the Chairman of Okehi LGA, imposed an emergency curfew, emphasizing the need for peace and order in light of the restrictions on political rallies and gatherings.
Nevertheless, Natasha chose to hold a significant rally in her constituency, declaring that nothing would stop her from coming back to her roots.
During her speech to the crowd, Natasha Akpoti remarked;
“Nobody and nothing can stop me from coming home. I’m an Ebira woman; this is my land. I’m the daughter of the late Jimoh Abdul Akpoti. I know my roots; I’m not a bastard, and I’m not afraid of anybody,” she said, emphasizing her deep connection to the land and people of Kogi Central.
“Yesterday, we heard on the news that rallies, gatherings will not be allowed, that roads will be blocked, and convoys leading into the state will not be allowed. I knew that we were the targets. But then I said, this is not political season, this is not campaign time.
“We are not having a rally. This is just me, the senator representing Kogi Central, coming down to her people to celebrate this festive time – the Sallah with you, and there is nothing wrong with that. I am breaking no law. This is Nigeria. We have the right to be free, to express our choice in gatherings and celebrations.”
