In a significant political development, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has successfully garnered the support of the Igala community in Ganaja Township, Ajaokuta Local Government. This comes after a courtesy visit to her residence in Ihima on August 17, 2024.
During the visit, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan engaged in heartfelt discussions with community leaders, addressing key concerns and outlining the benefits of aligning with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Her commitment to inclusivity, development, and the well-being of all communities resonated deeply with the visitors, leading to a growing consensus to shift their allegiance to the PDP.
The Igala community spokesperson praised Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s hospitality and genuine interest in their concerns, stating, “Her vision for a united and progressive Kogi State aligns with our aspirations, and we are ready to join hands with her in this journey.”
This move marks a pivotal moment in Kogi State’s political landscape, as the Igala community in Ganaja Township prepares to officially decamp from their current party affiliation to join the PDP. The community’s decision underscores Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s growing influence and her ability to bridge divides across the state.
The Senator expressed her gratitude for the community’s trust and emphasized her commitment to fostering unity and development across all ethnic and political lines in Kogi Central. An official decamping ceremony is expected to take place soon after due consultations.
