Photos: Supporters Defy Ban, Rally for Suspended Kogi Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan
Supporters of suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan have taken to the streets to express their solidarity ahead of her planned homecoming rally. The rally comes despite a recent ban on public gatherings and political events imposed by Kogi State Governor Usman Ododo.
Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Miller Dantawaye, reinforced the government’s stance, warning that the rally would be in violation of the directive. He urged Akpoti-Uduaghan to call off the event, which was scheduled to take place during the Sallah celebrations in the Kogi Central Senatorial District.
Despite these warnings, images circulating online on Tuesday, April 1, showed supporters carrying placards expressing their support for the senator. Some of the messages read, “Welcome home worthy daughter of Ebiraland, the people of Okene are solidly behind you” and “The people of Adavi are solidly behind you.”
