Despite the Kogi State Government’s ban on political rallies, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has vowed to go ahead with her planned visit to Kogi Central. The senator, known for her bold political stance, insists that the ban is an attempt to suppress opposition voices and has refused to back down.
State Government’s Ban on Rallies
The Kogi State Government recently imposed a ban on rallies and large political gatherings, citing security concerns. Officials claim that such events could lead to violence or unrest, especially in politically sensitive areas like Kogi Central.
However, critics argue that this move is targeted at silencing opposition figures, particularly Senator Natasha, who remains a strong force in Kogi politics.
Natasha’s Defiant Response
In a public statement, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan made it clear that she will not be intimidated by what she calls a politically motivated ban. She insists that her visit is meant to connect with her people, and no law prohibits her from engaging with her constituents.
She also called on security agencies to protect democratic rights rather than enforce unjust restrictions on political participation.
Supporters Rally Behind Natasha
Massive Public Support – Many residents of Kogi Central have shown support for Natasha, insisting that she has every right to visit and interact with her people.
Opposition Calls for Fairness – Political observers have pointed out that while some politicians are allowed to hold gatherings, the restrictions appear to only affect opposition figures.
Social Media Backlash – The ban has sparked outrage on social media, with many accusing the state government of abuse of power.
Will Natasha Face Resistance?
With her visit scheduled to go ahead despite the ban, the big question is: Will security forces attempt to block her? Many are closely watching to see if she will face harassment or intimidation, or if the authorities will allow her event to proceed peacefully.
Democracy on Trial?
This latest development has once again raised concerns about political freedom in Nigeria. Many believe that banning rallies sets a dangerous precedent, especially in a democracy where freedom of movement and assembly are fundamental rights.
Will Senator Natasha be stopped by the authorities, or will she successfully meet with her people? The coming days will reveal how this political drama unfolds.
