The Kogi Central Peoples Democratic Party senatorial candidate, Barr. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan took her senatorial campaign to her country home in Okehi local government area on Saturday, January 21, 2023, in continuation of the Ward-to-Ward campaign.
Natasha’s campaign train in her hometown of Okehi local government was given overwhelming support with the mass defection of the chieftains of APC into PDP.
The decampees from APC were led into the PDP by the former Kogi State Commissioner for Agriculture, Hon. Suleiman Enesi, who declared his support for the senatorial ambitions of Natasha and other PDP candidates.
Others who defected into PDP include former Obeiba Ward I Councillor, Hon. Abdulmumuni Ohuei, former Councillor Oboroke Uvute Ward I, Hon. Duty Sani Aniki, Hon. Jimoh Omeiza, former SA to Kogi State Commissioner for Water Resources, Hon. Yusuf Siyaka, amongst several others.
The PDP senatorial candidate was received by a mammoth crowd that declared their support and readiness to vote for her and other candidates of the party.
Natasha called on the good people of Kogi Central not to shortchange themselves of the opportunity to correct the mistakes of the past, adding that she can’t afford to fail her people when she gets to the Senate.
She noted that she will continue to advocate for the revival of the Ajaokuta steel company when she becomes the Senator of Kogi Central.
“We have NIOMCO in our local government which hosts the iron ore, even though we have advocated for the revival of Ajoakuta steel company, each time we have spoken for Ajaokuta steel, we have also campaigned for Itakpe iron ore which will boost the economy and livelihood of the people when it starts working.
“I plead with you all to pick your PVCs and turn out in your numbers in your various polling units and vote for PDP, don’t sell your vote, don’t let anyone intimidate you.
“You all have suffered enough, channel all your energy, and all the pains you’ve endured to vote for me and other PDP candidates to change our story.
“We will work hard to bring development, we will bring lots of jobs, and I hope to celebrate with you on the 25th of February 2023”, she said.
Natasha also promised to be the most vibrant, competent, and charismatic Senator, adding that he wouldn’t seatback and see projects going to other zones without
fighting for her people.
The Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Campaign Organization described the mass exodus of APC chieftains into the PDP in Kogi Central as an affirmation of the people’s readiness to chase APC and its failed agents from the seat of power.
The Campaign Organization also noted that the good people of Kogi Central are now ready than ever before to have representatives that can speak for them and represent their interests at the National Assembly and another seat of power.
The Campaign organization boasted that more chieftains of APC will continue to join PDP until Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan emerges as the next senator of Kogi Central and every other candidate of the party.
