 Constituents vow to resist alleged plot to recall Natasha

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan




Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s constituents on Saturday vowed to resist alleged plot to recall her from the Senate.

The constituents made this assertion in a statement titled: “Nothing can ever make us recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan” signed by the Coordinator/Convener of the Concerned Constituents of Kogi Central Senatorial District, Hon. Abdulrahaman Badamasiuy.

The statement reads in part: “We the Concerned Constituents of Kogi Central Senatorial District want the Nigerian Senate, fellow citizens of our country and the whole world to know that we are firmly standing with and fighting for justice alongside our daughter and duly elected Senator, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on her illegal suspension from the Senate.

“Senator Natasha Akpoti -Uduaghan remains the one in whom we deposited our legitimacy as a Senatorial Constituency and nobody or groups of persons can unscrupulously violate our democratic and constitutional rights.

“We therefore wish to put the Senate, all Nigerians and the world on notice that:

“Senator Akpoti Uduaghan retains our irrevocable legitimacy as our Senator that we as constituents of Kogi Central duly and massively voted for in the 2023 elections to serve her full term ending May 2027.

“All our Communities that make up Kogi Central Constituency are resolute that we shall never trade off the quality of representation that Senator Akpoti -Uduaghan has given to us since she assumed office in the Nigerian Senate as our Distinguished Senator.

“We again demand that the Nigerian Senate terminates the illegal suspension of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan because it unjustly denies our people of our constitutional right to federal representation in the National Assembly.

“We seriously warn against any attempt to further aggravate our Constituency through any fraudulent attempt to illegally recall Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan by any group of individuals conspiring to work against the collective will of we the people of Kogi Central constituency.

“Any unscrupulous attempt against the collective good of our people will be met with strong resistance from the entire Kogi Central communities.

“We the people of Kogi Central communities have maintained law and order and now wish to advise everyone else to do the same.

“The Nigeria Senate, reverse and terminate the illegal suspension order now to allow Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan continue her representation and exemplary service to all of us her people.

“Let no one provoke us any further while we look forward to having our concerns addressed within the shortest possible time.”(The Nation)
