The Senator representing Kogi Central senatorial district, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was unexpectedly denied access to the Palace of late Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, HRM, Dr. Ado Ibrahim during her condolence visit to families of the late Monarch on Saturday.

The Senator and her entourage were denied access to the popular Azad palace of the late paramount ruler and prevented from paying her last respect to the late Monarch.

Addressing the crowd outside the palace, Senator Natasha said, she came to show her appreciation to the late Monarch for the love and support shown to her when he was alive.

“Our father was a pillar to this struggle, right from the time of Ajaokuta struggle, the development of Ebiraland was all his concern.

“He was a peaceful man, the peace he preach will reign in Ebiraland. Even though he’s not with us today physically, he’s still with us in spirit, he would have been happy to receive us, he died an accomplished man with the legacies he left behind”, she said.

While praying for the soul of the late King to rest in peace, Senator Natasha promised to live up to what the King stood for in the Senate.

Sources indicate that the obstruction at the palace is linked to actions stemming from the state government, suggesting a fight back in response to the defeat of the Governor’s anointed candidate in the recent Appeal Court ruling which affirmed Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as the duly elected Senator of Kogi Central senatorial district.

This development further lends credence to the belief that the Governor’s earlier congratulatory message to Senator Natasha may have been a calculated move to create a facade of peace, concealing an underlying effort to garner support for his anointed candidate in the November 11, 2023 governorship election in the state.
