The senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has alleged that there’s pressure from some individuals in the Presidency on her to dump the Peoples Democratic Party for the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Recall that Natasha is not in the good book of the senate due to the sexual harassment accusations she levelled at Senate president Godswill Akpabio, which led to her suspension.
Speaking on the Mic On Podcast hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, the Senator said she’s receiving overtures from some fellow senators and individuals linked to the Presidency to ditch PDP for APC, a purpoted request she claimed to have repeatedly declined and would never accede to.
“I was in APC briefly at the start of everything. Why should I go and join APC? I don’t have to follow the bandwagon. I don’t have to succumb to threats or fall for cajolery,” she said.
Before she added:“I have been approached many times. I have been approached by people from the Presidency, even by my colleagues. As recently as yesterday, one of them jokingly said, ‘We’re still expecting you, we would love to have you.’
“And I told him, I love my space, I love my peace here. I’m okay with my party for now, so I don’t think I have to join the APC.”
