We Want To Correct The Error Of Having Natasha In The Senate – Constituents

Constituents of Kogi Central have declared that they are involved in the recall of embattled Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for real in order to correct the mistake they made by allowing her to get to the Senate in the first place.

The specifically said that it has become evidently clear that Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan’s presence in the Senate was an error which they are determined to correct by recalling her back home.

The over 10,000 constituents on the platform of Kogi Central Grassroots Movement from the five local government areas that constitute Kogi Central senatorial district, accused Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan of sponsoring doctored videos and deliberately distorting information on her recall process, stressing that she has come to the end of her stay at the Senate.

A statement by AbdulHameed Jimoh and Mohammed Abdullahi, Coordinator and Secretary respectively of the Kogi Central Movement noted that the embattled Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan has refused to face reality but, instead falsely accusing the Kogi State government of being behind her recall whereas she knows that even those who were her strong loyalists in the Central have abandoned her.

The Movement therefore appealed to Nigerians to ignore the rant of a few hired people on social media, but should endeavour to visit Kogi Central to see that Akpoti-Uduaghan is presently a paper-weight politician.

The statement further said; “She went to the National Assembly to pursue her personal interest, not the interest of Kogi Central. To worsen matters, she has turned herself to a laughing stock in the international community with the ridiculous allegations against the Senate President and her deliberate attempt to deceive the world that her suspension was as a result of the sexual harassment allegations.

“Senator Natasha has always been the oppressor playing the victim against the oppressed. Last weekend, she sent items to people in Okene to convince them to come out the next day for a protest.

“They imported people from outside the district to join her very few and reluctant aides and called them Kogi Central constituents. Yet, in their usual way of distorting facts, the embattled Senator and her team churned out orchestrated false media reports that people had been hoodwinked into signing the recall register aimed at recalling her from the Senate.

“Keen observers of the whole shenanigans, since it broke out between Senator Natasha and the entire Senate, will agree that the Kogi Central senator has put the Central Senatorial District in the eye of the storm for the wrong reasons again.

“No reasonable constituents will fold their arms and see their senatorial district dragged to the mud without doing something to remedy it.

“The recall process therefore is a necessity and deliberate attempt by the people of Kogi Central to tell the whole world that they are not in support of the unruly behaviour of the senator.

“She should leave the stage to face her strange activism and quarrels so that we can have quality representation,” the statement said.

Members of the Movement emphasised the embattled Senator erred by going to IPU, UN to externalise what is purely a domestic issue just to embarrass the Federal Government of Nigeria.

It further stated; “You can’t go and disgrace your country before the world and still continue to maintain leadership position. The best bet for her was to resign and since she is refusing to do that, the people are determined to show her the way out”.
