Amongst women there are women whose priority is clearly for the well being of her people and without any doubts this statement holds true for Barrister Natasha Akpoti who stands out amongst other women.
A true leader to the letter, whose sole intent is not just to make an impact by transforming lives but also a woman who is sold out to creating world changers everywhere she goes.
On Sunday, she made the response at her home town in Okehi to serve the people of the central senatorial district come 2019.
The social entrepreneur and founder, Builders Hub Impact Investment Program (BHIIP), stated that her mission is to liberate and alleviate the suffering of the people of central senatorial district and Kogi State at large.
She believes that it is time to be the change that we earnestly need as a people and charity they say begins at home, nothing that; “Okene has many treasures in it including her wonderful people, it is time for the uniqueness of the land to be celebrated and brought to limelight with the support from the good people of Central Senatorial district, rather than be put at the back sit.
“I have come because of thunderous call to humanity, which was so loud that going against it will be injustice. Without mincing words, it’s a call to serve Ebiraland, to represent Kogi Central senatorial district in 2019.
“When my father died 20years ago, circumstances made my family and I leave but my heart is always here. When I came back and saw my community, I discovered our community has deteriorated and I knew something must be done. In these twenty years, I had gone through a lot and I have crossed a lot of oceans. In the last few years when I started the struggle to revival Ajoakuta, I knew God was preparing me for something, and your call was heard”.
She also noted that she will ensure that women and youths have access to quality healthcare services and human empowerment.
She said if given the mandate, she would also ensure the people are duly and fully involve in governance, and attract capital projects to her constituents by lobbying to ensure that the presence of the State and Federal government are felt through the basic of infrastructure.
Barrister Natasha is well known, both nationally and internationally as a ‘Talk and Do’ woman, a fierce achiever and a light bearer of her generation who is intentional in all of her pursuit and is sold out to justice, transparency and the positive transformation of her people.
