Massive Turnout As Kogi Central Constituents Begins Process to Recall Senator Natasha Akpoti
Constituents of Kogi Central Senatorial District have initiated a recall process against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, citing a vote of no confidence in her representation.
The recall process, witnessed in Okehi local government area on Wednesday, saw a large number of electorate on queue to support the recall process.
Three of the electorate, Nura Ibrahim, Adagiri Musa and Tijani Usman, said the exercise is being carried out beyond party lines because of the growing dissatisfaction among constituents with Akpoti-Uduaghan’s performance, particularly in addressing key issues like poverty, infrastructure, and education.
“The decision to initiate the recall process was not taken lightly, with key stakeholders stating that they had tried to engage with Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan on several occasions, but their efforts were met with disdain and arrogance,” he said.
The recall process is expected to take two days across all polling units in the five local governments of Kogi Central. During this time, constituents will be required to sign a petition calling for the senator’s recall.
