Supporters of suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, have defied a government ban on public gatherings by taking to the streets in anticipation of her homecoming rally. The restriction was imposed by Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo.
On Monday, Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Miller Dantawaye, reiterated the government’s stance, warning that the planned rally violated the prohibition on political gatherings. He urged Akpoti-Uduaghan to cancel the scheduled Sallah rally in Kogi Central Senatorial District.
Despite this, images circulating online from Tuesday, April 1, show jubilant supporters holding placards in solidarity with the suspended lawmaker. Messages on the placards 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 demonstration of support highlights escalating political tensions in Kogi State, as Akpoti-Uduaghan’s loyalists remain resolute despite the official restrictions.
