Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central senatorial district, has expressed gratitude to Nigerians for standing by her during her six-month suspension from the Senate.
In an appreciation post on her social media handle, Akpoti-Uduaghan acknowledged the challenges she faced, saying, “It’s a long walk to justice.”
She said she hoped that her sacrifice would contribute to a better and more equitable Nigeria.
She said, “It’s a long walk to justice while we celebrate a renewed commitment of service with integrity and courage.
“Thus, I deeply appreciate the good people of Kogi Central, Kogi state and Nigeria at large for their voices, prayers and support. This isn’t my victory alone, it’s ours to behold and celebrate.
“The Nigeria Labour Congress (N.L.C), Nigerian Bar Association, Womanifesto, Socio-Economic Rights & Accountability Project – SERAP , numerous political parties amongst many others stood firm in demanding accountability for justice…THANK YOU!!!
“To my husband, children and the many heroes who have become family in the cause of our pursuit for justice… my gratitude is endless.
“I trust our collective sacrifices would yield a better and equitable country.
“On God, People and Country,
Senator Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan
Proudly Kogi Central”, she said.
Recall the Nigerian Senate had earlier stated that the Kogi Central Senator cannot resume until the Appeal Court decides on the case despite spending her six months suspension.
However, in a recent reversal, the Senate reopened her office, allowing her to resume her duties.
