Senator Natasha Dares Gov Ododo, Storms Senatorial District For Homecoming
The embattled senator representing Komi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan on Tuesday Morning stormed the Ihima community of Okehi Local Government Area in Kogi for her homecoming event.
Though the Kogi state Governor Usman Ododo had earlier banned rallies o the6ir other events in the state ahead of the planned homecoming of Senator Natasha, the Senator arrived at her senatorial district in a helicopter amid cheers from her supporters and constituents.
“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 the 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”.
"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” the Senator said.
