Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the suspended senator representing Kogi Central, has expressed her eagerness to celebrate Eid-el-Fitr with her constituents on Tuesday.
Gatekeepers News reports that she has also indicated that any incidents of violence that may occur during her visit should be attributed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Kogi Governor Usman Ododo, and former Governor Yahaya Bello.
“My dear people of Kogi Central, I look forward to our PEACEFUL Sallah celebrations today,” she wrote on Facebook.
“However, should we be met with or infiltrated by violence, Nigerians should hold Gov Òdodo, Yahaya Bello & SP Godswill Akpabio wholly responsible.”
The lawmaker issued her statement shortly after the Kogi police command asked her to cancel the planned Eid-el-Fitr celebration rally in the central senatorial district of the state.
In a statement on Monday, the senator’s media team dismissed speculation about a possible visit cancellation.
The statement was made after the Kogi government placed a ban on rallies and public gatherings in the state over “credible security reports”.
