Natasha’s supporters flood streets despite police warning, government ban
admin
Supporters of the suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, have taken to the streets in preparation for her homecoming rally, despite a ban on public gatherings imposed by Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo.
The Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Miller Dantawaye, reinforced the government’s directive on Monday, emphasizing that the planned rally violates the ban on political gatherings. He urged Akpoti-Uduaghan to call off the scheduled Sallah rally in Kogi Central Senatorial District.
However, recent images circulating online from Tuesday, April 1, show enthusiastic supporters holding placards in solidarity with the suspended lawmaker. The inscriptions read: “Welcome home, worthy daughter of Ebiraland. The people of Okene are solidly behind you,” and “The people of Adavi are solidly behind you.”
The show of support comes amid rising political tension in Kogi State, as loyalists continue to rally around Akpoti-Uduaghan despite the official ban.
