WATCH THE VIDEO HERE A sizeable number of supporters have gathered to welcome Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the representative of Kogi Central, ahead of her anticipated homecoming visit. Supporters were seen holding placards expressing solidarity with the lawmaker as they awaited her arrival. Screenshot 20250401 140651 Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who emphasized her desire for a peaceful homecoming, made the declaration in a post on her verified Facebook account on Tuesday. She wrote, “My dear people of Kogi Central, I look forward to our PEACEFUL Sallah celebrations today. However, should we be met with or infiltrated by violence, Nigerians should hold Gov Ododo, Yahaya Bello & SP Godswill Akpabio wholly responsible.” Her team had earlier said that the visit remains on schedule despite the recent ban on rallies and public gatherings imposed by the Kogi State Government, citing security concerns. She dismissed rumours that she had cancelled her trip, urging her supporters to disregard such claims. Meanwhile, the police have advised her to cancel the rally, but indications suggest she will proceed as planned. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was recently suspended from the Senate for six months for allegedly violating legislative rules. She also faces a potential recall, allegedly backed by political figures from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The lawmaker has been at the centre of multiple controversies, including her accusation against Senate President Akpabio of sexual harassment.
The development follows her recent statement where she declared that Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo, and former Governor Yahaya Bello should be held accountable should any violence occur during her scheduled Sallah celebrations.
