Following her declaration for a re-election into the Senate to represent Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has picked her nomination form, dedicating the step to the approval of her husband, Mr. Emmanuel Uduaghan.
The lawmaker said she would not have taken the step towards the 2027 election if her husband had not approved of it.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan who posted on her official social media platforms, photos of her holding her nomination forms with her husband, acknowledged him for understanding the depth of her purpose and standing by her.
“By taking it upon yourself, out of your deep and unwavering belief in me, to purchase my 2027 senatorial nomination form, you did far more than support a political ambition. You affirmed a shared vision. You declared, without hesitation, that you are ready to walk this journey with me…through the campaigns, through the elections, and all the way to victory for our people.
“High Chief Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan, the Alema of Warri Kingdom, your action speaks volumes. It tells me that you understand the weight of this calling, the sacrifices it demands, and the resilience it requires. Despite the trials we faced in the 2023 elections; you have chosen courage over comfort, faith over fear, and purpose over ease. For this my love, I thank you from the depths of my heart,” she wrote.
The Senator assured his husband of her respect, and eulogized his commitment to their shared dream.
“Know that I deeply respect your strength. I admire your steadfast commitment not just to me, but to the dream we share: a dream of uplifting our people through the true essence of democracy. Thank you for not growing weary. Thank you for seeing the bigger picture. Thank you for believing that from Kogi Central, our contribution to a greater Nigeria truly matters.”
Meanwhile, the Kogi State Working Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had in the week before ratified an automatic ticket for the Senator.
Members of the committee unanimously endorsed the ratification as earlier granted by the State Chairman, Muhammed Sani Gambo.
The committee also affirmed Senator Natasha’s leadership of the PDP in the state, citing her consistent support and financial backing for the party’s activities and structure.
Speaking at the meeting, members of the working committee praised her performance on the floor of the Senate, saying she has continued to make the party proud through purposeful representation.
Beyond her legislative duties, the committee highlighted her impact in Kogi Central through empowerment programs, describing her investments in infrastructure development as outstanding. These include the construction of schools and markets, provision of housing accommodation, and skills training initiatives for constituents.
The PDP assured the senator of its continued loyalty and support, declaring her the unanimous choice for the 2027 Kogi Central Senatorial race.
