Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has officially declared her intention to seek re-election for a second term.
She cited extensive consultations and sustained support from her constituents and family for her decision.
The announcement, according to a statement by her media office in Abuja, was made during a meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders in Kogi Central Senatorial District, where party leaders, supporters, and other key figures gathered to deliberate on the future of the party in the district.
Addressing the gathering, Akpoti-Uduaghan said her decision followed months of appeals and endorsements across the five local government areas in Kogi Central.
“After due consultations and encouragement from my lovely husband, I am here to say I have accepted your calls to re-contest for my second term as your senator,” she said.
The senator’s declaration comes on the heels of a wave of endorsements from party faithful and community leaders, which have intensified over the past four months, signalling strong grassroots support for her candidacy.
She emphasised the need for unity within the party, calling on stakeholders to prioritise reconciliation and inclusiveness ahead of future elections.
“This is the time to bring everyone back home. We must reconcile with those who may have had one issue or another, for the betterment of our party and the success of our elections ahead,” she said.
