Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has boldly declared that no one can stop her from returning to her hometown in Kogi Central. Speaking to her supporters in Okehi Local Government Area, she emphasized her strong ties to her roots and dismissed any fears of being stopped.

“I am an Ebira woman; this is my land. I am the daughter of the late Jimoh Abdul Akpoti. I know my roots, and I am not afraid of anyone,” Natasha said.

Her statement comes after the Kogi State government banned rallies and public gatherings due to security concerns. The authorities also stopped fishing activities in some areas, citing recent incidents that led to the loss of lives.

Additionally, the Kogi State Police advised the senator to cancel her planned homecoming rally, while the chairman of Okehi LGA declared a curfew.

Despite these restrictions, hundreds of supporters came out to welcome Natasha upon her arrival.

Recently, Natasha was suspended from the Senate for six months after accusing Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment. Her suspension was based on alleged misconduct during a plenary session.
