Natasha wins Kogi Central after legal battles

Since her dramatic victory at the court, which confirmed her as the duly elected Senator for Kogi Central in 2023, Akpoti-Uduaghan’s journey has been fraught with roadblocks.

Her relationship with Senate President Godswill Akpabio has been especially tense. She has publicly accused Akpabio of attempting to silence her and obstruct her legislative duties, and more seriously, of sexually harassing her—a charge she has taken to several international media outlets.

While the case is currently pending before a Nigerian court, the senator has continued to speak out, alleging that she is being punished for rejecting Akpabio’s advances and for refusing to bow to pressure from both the Senate leadership and her state’s ruling elite.

The Senate President has denied the allegations, and no formal indictment has been made. However, the issue has drawn national and international attention, with human rights groups and women's advocates weighing in on the need for due process and protection for whistleblowers in public institutions.

Akpoti-Uduaghan is also facing stiff political opposition from the Kogi State government, where her growing influence has disrupted established power dynamics.

As a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a state led by the All Progressives Congress (APC), her tenure in the Senate has become a flashpoint in the broader struggle for political control.

Despite the controversies and legal battles, she maintains strong support among her constituents, many of whom view her as a symbol of courage in the face of elite intimidation.

Primate Ayodele’s words may offer much-needed spiritual reassurance as she navigates a volatile political landscape.

Whether her next move involves contesting higher office or continuing her legal battle, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan remains a prominent voice in Nigeria’s evolving political terrain.
