CITIZENS COMPASS– The Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on Tuesday, declared that nobody can stop her from visiting her state of origin, Kogi State.
She couldn’t hide her feelings when a crowd of supporters gave her a rousing welcome in her hometown, Ihima area of the State.
The visit took place despite an earlier curfew imposed by the state government.
Some videos of the visit monitored by our Correspondent captured Natasha walking along a major road, surrounded by supporters chanting and celebrating her presence as many residents cheered her up not minding the curfew.
Addressing the crowd, Natasha said: “Nobody and nothing can stop me from coming home. I’m an Ebira woman; this is my land. I’m the daughter of the late Jimoh Abdul Akpoti. I know my roots; I’m not a bastard, and I’m not afraid of anybody.”
