The lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has announced that she would not back out on her plan to return to her constituency for the Sallah break.

The senator also urged her supporters to disregard speculations making the round that she has cancelled her scheduled visit.

She disclosed this in a statement issued by her media team in the early hours of today.

The statement read, “We are pleased to confirm that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Sallah visit to Kogi Central Senatorial District will proceed as planned.

“Despite rumours circulating online, there has been no official announcement from our office regarding the cancellation of this visit.”

While stating that she has a statutory function in her capacity as the lawmaker representing her constituents, the senator encouraged her supporters to troop out en masse to celebrate Eid-el-Fitr with her.

Akpoti-Uduaghan’s homecoming notification comes a few hours after the Kogi State Government banned rallies and public gatherings in the state over security reports.
