I’m Not Afraid Of Anyone, Natasha Tells Supporters At Homecoming Rally In Kogi
Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has declared that she is “not a bastard” and “not afraid of anyone”.
She made this declaration while addressing a massive crowd of supporters during her homecoming in Ihima, Okehi Local Government Area (LGA) of Kogi State on Tuesday afternoon.
The state government had earlier banned political gatherings in the state.
The Police, in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer in the state, William Aya, and released to journalists on Tuesday, April 1, had called for the rally’s cancellation. According to the police, its decision was based on an intelligence report indicating security threats in the state and the subsequent ban on all forms of rallies and processions by the state government.
Despite the restrictions on vehicle convoys, public gatherings, and curfew, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan arrived the venue of the rally in a helicopter.
Speaking at the event which was witnessed by thousands of her supporters, Akpoti-Uduaghan said nobody could stop her from coming home.
“Nobody and nothing can stop me from coming home. I am an Ebira woman; this is my land. I am 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.
Recall that Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended from the Senate for six months because of her altercation with the Senate leadership, while the Red Chamber is currently probing her allegation of sexual harassment against its president.
