Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, has reaffirmed her commitment to visiting her constituency for the Sallah celebrations despite speculations suggesting otherwise.
In a statement released by her media team on Tuesday, the senator urged her supporters to disregard rumors about the cancellation of her visit. She assured the public that her trip remains on schedule and encouraged her constituents to join her in celebrating Eid-el-Fitr.
“We are pleased to confirm that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Sallah visit to Kogi Central Senatorial District will proceed as planned,” the statement read.
The senator emphasized her dedication to serving her constituents, highlighting her statutory responsibility to engage with the community.
“As the senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan remains committed to fostering unity and cooperation within her constituency. Her dedication to the people is unwavering, and she looks forward to celebrating Eid-el-Fitr with them,” the statement continued.
She further assured that all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure a smooth and successful celebration, inviting all members of the community to participate in the festivities.
Her confirmation comes just hours after the Kogi State Government imposed a ban on rallies and public gatherings due to security concerns. The state government also suspended fishing activities in response to recent violent incidents that resulted in the loss of lives in parts of Kogi West.
Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, stated that the restrictions were aimed at preventing potential security threats. According to him, intelligence reports suggested that certain individuals were planning to stage violent demonstrations under the guise of political and religious gatherings in Kogi Central.
Despite these developments, Akpoti-Uduaghan remains resolute in her plans to visit her constituents, reinforcing her commitment to serving and engaging with the people of Kogi Central.
