...Reaffirms Heritage, Resolute in Pursuit of Justice and Advocacy
Senator Natasha Akpoti has made a bold declaration of her unwavering resolve to return to her roots, asserting that "nobody and nothing" can prevent her from coming back to her homeland in Kogi State.
The Senator, representing Kogi Central in the National Assembly, proudly reiterated her connection to the Ebira people and her heritage, emphasizing that her deep ties to the land are unshakable despite the challenges she faces.Speaking passionately during a recent interview, Akpoti declared, "I’m an Ebira woman; this is my land. I’m the daughter of the late Jimoh Abdul Akpoti. I know my roots; I’m not a bastard, and I’m not afraid of anybody."
Her powerful statement comes amidst growing political tensions in Kogi State, where the Senator has long been a vocal advocate for good governance, human rights, and justice. Akpoti, known for her fearless stance against corruption and political mismanagement, has been targeted by political opponents and forces attempting to undermine her efforts.
With a resolute tone, the Senator made it clear that no amount of intimidation, threats, or political maneuvering would force her to abandon her duty to her people. "I know my roots," she reiterated, emphasizing her connection to the land and her role in standing up for the rights of her people, the Ebira, who she says have been neglected for too long.
Akpoti’s father, the late Jimoh Abdul Akpoti, was a well-known figure in the community, and his legacy continues to resonate with the Senator, who has often spoken about the lessons of resilience and integrity she learned from him. The Senator’s statement reinforces her commitment to advocating for the people of Kogi State and Nigeria at large, regardless of the political forces working against her.
Her words come at a time when there are growing concerns about political intimidation and attempts to silence opposition voices, particularly those who challenge the status quo. However, Akpoti remains undeterred. "I’m not afraid of anybody," she boldly stated, signaling her readiness to face any challenge that comes her way in her pursuit of justice for her people.
Akpoti’s determination to return to her roots and continue her advocacy is also a direct response to critics and opponents who have attempted to undermine her legitimacy and political standing. She has been outspoken in her criticism of the current administration in Kogi State and has consistently called for greater transparency and accountability, particularly in the allocation of resources and development programs.
As she prepares for future political challenges, Akpoti’s statement has resonated with many Nigerians who see her as a symbol of courage and perseverance in the face of adversity. Her continued fight for the betterment of her people, especially the marginalized and disenfranchised, has earned her a loyal following among her constituents and supporters nationwide.
Political analysts are watching closely as Akpoti’s political career continues to unfold. Her bold assertion of identity and heritage is expected to have significant implications for her political future, particularly in the context of Kogi State's upcoming elections and the broader political climate in Nigeria.
For now, Akpoti remains steadfast in her belief that her connection to her roots and her people will guide her through any political storm. She has made it clear that her determination to serve her community and stand up for justice is stronger than ever. "Nobody and nothing can stop me from coming home," she affirmed, leaving no doubt that she will continue to fight for her people, her land, and her legacy.
