The Senate has sworn in Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) as the senator representing Kogi Central senatorial
district.
Natasha is now the first female Senator from Kogi State and
the fourth female Senator in the 10th Upper Legislative Chamber
Senate President Godswill Akpabio directed the clerk of the
senate to administer the oath to her on the floor of the upper legislative
chamber on Thursday.
This followed her presentation with the Certificate of
Return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the duly
elected Senator for Kogi Central.
The Court of Appeal had on Tuesday
affirmed Akpoti-Uduaghan as the winner of the Kogi central senatorial district
election.
The election petition tribunal had on September 6, affirmed
Natasha as the duly elected Senator as it nullified Ohere’s victory citing
inflated polling results in favor of Ohere in some units and deliberate
undercounting against Akpoti-Uduaghan.
