Kogi Gov: It's Our Job To Share Our View On Natasha Akpoti's Senate Seat

Special Adviser Urges Action: Kogi Wants Natasha Akpoti’s Senate Seat Filled

Let’s get real here. Sandra Mimi Musa, the Special Adviser to Governor Usman Ododo on Emergency Management, is making waves with her take on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s current situation. She’s calling for action, loud and clear. According to Naija News, Mrs. Musa says that Natasha’s six-month suspension has left a gaping hole for the people of Kogi Central Senatorial District. It’s not just a political issue; it’s a matter of representation and ensuring the voices of the people are heard.

Speaking to News Central on Saturday, Governor Ododo’s Special Adviser—who hails from Natasha’s very own constituency—expressed deep concern about the lack of representation in the Senate. She highlighted how the zone has been left without the dividends of democracy it deserves. The people of Kogi Central have been left without the quality representation they expected when they voted Natasha into office. This isn’t just about politics—it’s about the people’s right to have their voices represented in the nation’s legislature.

Now, let’s break it down. Mrs. Musa pointed out that Natasha was elected by her constituents, which means they stood behind her. However, when the controversy erupted, Natasha never held a town hall meeting or engaged her constituents to keep them informed. Fast forward to today, and the people are still in the dark. They don’t know the full story beyond what they see on the news. How can they support Natasha if they don’t even know the details? The six-month suspension is a big deal, and the people of Kogi Central feel it. They’re concerned about the vacuum that’s been created, and they’re saying loud and clear: the position needs to be filled.

Why Won’t Natasha Apologize? Special Adviser Weighs In

Mrs. Musa didn’t hold back when discussing Natasha’s refusal to apologize to the Senate. She emphasized that Natasha should have acknowledged the senators who tried to calm her down during the heated altercation. If you watch the video of that day, you’ll see that many colleagues, including former governors and respected elders, urged her to cool off. But Natasha didn’t listen to anyone. Mrs. Musa believes that Natasha’s refusal to apologize isn’t sitting well with the public. It’s not a hidden issue—it’s everywhere. The question remains: why hasn’t Natasha apologized? Is it pride, principle, or something else entirely?

Let’s be honest, folks. When you’re in a position of leadership, your actions matter. Every decision you make, every word you say, has an impact. Natasha was asked to apologize, but she declined. Now, the question becomes: is this in the best interest of her constituents? Or is it overshadowing the very people she was elected to represent?

Sexual Harassment: A Serious Matter That Deserves Proof

Mrs. Musa acknowledged that Natasha’s sexual harassment allegation against Senate President Godswill Akpabio is a serious matter. Sexual harassment isn’t something to be taken lightly—it’s a deeply painful issue that affects countless women around the world. However, Mrs. Musa stressed that if Natasha wants to make this accusation stick, she needs to provide proof. Without evidence, it’s just an allegation. And in the court of public opinion, that can be a tough sell.

She went on to say that if Natasha can produce the necessary proof, the women of Kogi—and women across Nigeria—will rally behind her. This isn’t about politics; it’s about standing up for what’s right. But until that proof is presented, it’s hard for people to fully support her claims. Mrs. Musa also noted that this is a personal matter, and diving into the details might not be appropriate, especially since the issue is already before the courts. Still, she assured everyone that if Natasha can prove her allegations, she’ll have the full support of women everywhere.

Focus on the People: Filling the Void in Kogi Central

At the end of the day, what matters most to the constituents of Kogi Central is filling the vacuum left by Natasha’s suspension. Mrs. Musa emphasized that the people want their Senate seat filled so they can receive the dividends of democracy they deserve. Once you’re elected into office, your job is to provide good governance. No matter what happens, you need to keep the needs of your constituents at the forefront of your decisions and actions.

She concluded by saying, “Sexual harassment is a very serious issue. It’s painful, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. But we also need to remember that this is a personal matter, and we shouldn’t dive too deep into it. What we’re focused on right now is the fact that our Senate seat will be vacant for almost a year. We need that position filled because we want to enjoy the benefits of democracy. Good governance is all about meeting the needs of the people, even when things get tough.”
