Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has hailed Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for her courage and steadfastness in retrieving her stolen mandate.
Akpoti-Uduaghan is heading to the Nigerian Senate after the Appeal Court affirmed her election in agreement with an earlier judgement by the Kogi state election petitions tribunal.
Saraki, a former governor of Kwara state, noted that Akpoti-Uduaghan has consistently protected her people’s mandate.
His words:
”Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the next Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, has proven to be a fierce political fighter and a courageous advocate capable of protecting her people’s mandate.
”Today, I join all members of our great party, the PDP, the people of Kogi state, and women across the nation in congratulating Senator Natasha Akpoti-Udughan on her victory at the Court of Appeal, which affirmed her as the duly elected Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District.
”As she begins her service, I am confident that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan will do so with utmost distinction. She is a true daughter of the soil, a grassroots politician, and a leader whose passion and commitment to making a difference in the lives of her constituents is clear.”
