‘I’ve been approached by Presidency to join APC’: Senator Natasha claims

The lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has claimed that she had been approached by the people in the presidency to join the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Natasha disclosed this in an interview on Mic On Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye on Saturday.

She said she would not leave the PDP for the APC, adding that she enjoys her peace in her party.

“And even when I got married, I also was faced with the question of, your husband is from Delta State, go contest in Delta State. You’re no more from Kogi.

“But at each time, I had such challenges, I had to brace myself. So I was ready for it. And I would tell every woman who wants to venture into it that it could be tough, but you have the strength in you.

Recall that Senator Natasha has been in a long battle with the Senate President, Goodwill Akpabio. The drama started on the Senate floor between Senator Natasha and Akpabio during plenary.

The confrontation reportedly stemmed from disagreements over committee representation and gender bias, after Natasha accused the Senate leadership of marginalising female lawmakers.

Akpabio, in response, dismissed her claims, leading to a tense back-and-forth that momentarily disrupted proceedings. Natasha insisted on being heard, accusing the Senate President of trying to silence her, while Akpabio urged her to maintain decorum.
