The lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, says she does not have to jump on the bandwagon or succumb to any threat to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Naijaonpoint reports that Natasha disclosed this in an interview on Mic On Podcast with Nigerian journalist, Seun Okinbaloye.
According to the lawmaker, she has been approached by the people in the presidency to join the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Natasha maintained that she would not leave the PDP for the APC, adding that she enjoys her peace in her party.
She said, “And even when I got married, I also was faced with the question of, your husband is from Delta State, go contest in Delta State. You’re no more from Kogi.
“But at each time, I had such challenges, I had to brace myself. So I was ready for it. And I would tell every woman who wants to venture into it that it could be tough, but you have the strength in you.
“I was in APC briefly. At the start of everything but now, no. Why should I go join APC? I don’t have to follow the bandwagon. I don’t have to succumb to any threats or fall for any cajolement. Let me be honest about it. I’ve been approached by people from the presidency, from even my colleagues, even as recent as yesterday.
“I love my space. I love my peace here. I’m okay with my party now, so I don’t think I have to join the APC.”
