Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, suspended Kogi central senator, has expressed her eagerness to celebrate Eid-el-Fitr with her constituents on Tuesday.
She also alleged that any violent acts during the visit
should be blamed on Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Usman Ododo, Kogi
governor; and Yahaya Bello, former governor of the state.
“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 cancellation of the visit.
The statement was made after the Kogi government placed a
ban on rallies and public gatherings in the state over “credible security
reports”.
