The lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has reaffirmed her commitment to proceed with her planned visit to her constituency for the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations, despite swirling rumours that she had canceled the visit.
In a statement issued by her media team early Tuesday morning, the lawmaker clarified that her visit to Kogi Central would take place as scheduled, urging her supporters to disregard the speculations surrounding the visit. The statement also emphasized the senator’s dedication to her statutory function, highlighting her ongoing commitment to fostering unity and cooperation within her constituency.
The statement further reassured the public that all necessary arrangements had been made to ensure the success of the planned event. Akpoti-Uduaghan extended an invitation to all community members to join her in marking the special occasion.
However, the senator’s visit comes amid growing security concerns in the state. Just hours before Akpoti-Uduaghan’s statement, the Kogi State Government announced a ban on public rallies and gatherings due to security reports. In a statement issued on Monday, Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, explained that the ban was imposed to prevent any security breaches that could destabilize the state.
