Kogi Central stakeholders have threatened to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan over her ongoing dispute with Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The group, led by AbdulRaheem Adeku, accuses her of neglecting legislative duties and urges the Senate to take disciplinary action, warning that her continued conduct could trigger a recall process.
Political tensions are escalating in Kogi Central as key stakeholders threaten to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan over her ongoing public rift with Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The Kogi Central Concerned Stakeholders, led by Convener AbdulRaheem Adeku, accused the senator of neglecting her legislative duties in favor of political disputes.
In a strongly worded statement, the group criticized Akpoti-Uduaghan’s conduct, warning that her actions had drawn unnecessary national attention to Kogi Central. They called on the Senate to take disciplinary measures against her, stating that her behavior was disruptive and did not align with the values of her constituents.
The dispute stems from allegations of sexual harassment against Akpabio, which have fueled intense political exchanges. The stakeholders expressed concern over the negative spotlight on their district, emphasizing that the senator should focus on governance rather than personal feuds.
"If this misuse of her representation continues, we will be left with no choice but to initiate a recall process," the statement read. The warning signals a potential political crisis, as recall efforts are rare and often challenging to execute in Nigeria.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan has yet to respond to the recall threat. Political analysts suggest that this development could test her influence within the Senate and among her supporters in Kogi Central. The coming weeks will determine whether the recall moves forward or if a resolution can be reached.
