Demand For Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Reinstatement Comes with Firm Conditions
Residents of Kogi Central Senatorial District have strongly opposed the suspension of their senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, from the Nigerian Senate.
They describe the move as illegal and a violation of their democratic rights.
In a statement issued by Hon. Abdulrahaman Badamasiuy, the group’s coordinator, they reaffirmed their support for Akpoti-Uduaghan and warned against any attempts to remove her from office unfairly.
They demanded that the Senate immediately reverse her suspension, arguing that it deprives their district of representation in the National Assembly.
The constituents stated that Akpoti-Uduaghan was duly elected in 2023 to serve until 2027 and remains their legitimate representative.
Key Demands from the Constituents:
Immediate Reinstatement – They insist the Senate must lift her suspension to restore their constitutional representation.
No Fraudulent Recall – They warned against any attempts to remove her from office through unfair means.
Strong Resistance – The group vowed to oppose any actions that go against their collective will.
Federal Government Intervention – They called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government to ensure Akpoti-Uduaghan’s safety and prevent further political tensions in the district.
While the group has maintained a peaceful stance, they urged authorities to address their concerns swiftly to avoid further unrest.
They made it clear that they will not tolerate any attempts to undermine their choice of representation.
