The political atmosphere in Kogi State, especially within the Central Senatorial District, is rarely quiet. It is a terrain where passions run high and the stakes are even higher.
Recently, the conversation has shifted toward the seat currently occupied by Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan. Following whispers and reports about the potential senatorial ambitions of former Governor Yahaya Bello or his close associates, the Senator has made her stance very clear.

For those who have followed the intense journey of this particular seat, the latest development is more than just a headline; it is a continuation of a long standing struggle for the soul of Ebiraland.
Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan remains confident in her mandate
When you speak with a leader who has fought through the trenches to claim a mandate, you notice a certain level of calm that only comes from conviction.
Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has expressed that she is not losing any sleep over the rumored ambitions of her political rivals. According to her, the seat she occupies is not a gift but a hard earned victory supported by the people.
In the world of Nigerian politics, where many are used to the “godfather” system, Natasha’s rise represents a shift toward grassroots validation. She insists that any attempt by the camp of the former governor to eye the Senate is not a threat to her position because the work she has started speaks for itself.

To understand why this news is buzzing, one must look back at the history between Natasha and the Yahaya Bello administration. This is not a new fight.
It is a rivalry that has seen court cases, heated campaign trails, and a lot of political drama. For the Senator, the focus is on representation that truly touches the lives of the common man in Okene, Adavi, and surrounding areas.

She believes that the people of Kogi Central have moved past the era of intimidation and are now more interested in tangible results. By dismissing the threat of the former governor’s camp, she is essentially saying that the political landscape in Kogi has evolved beyond the influence of a single individual.
Why the Bello camp ambition is making headlines now
It is no secret that in Nigeria, the Senate is often seen as the next destination for former governors. It is almost like a retirement home for those who have spent eight years in the Government House.
This is why the reports of Yahaya Bello potentially eyeing the red chamber have sparked such a debate. However, Natasha argues that the Senate requires a different kind of energy and commitment to legislative duties.
She maintains that her focus remains on her constituents and that she will not be distracted by the “noise” of those who are yet to come to terms with the current reality. Her supporters see her as a barrier against the old way of doing things, and this confidence is what fuels her current stance.

As we move closer to another election cycle, the dynamics in Kogi Central will definitely be worth watching. Will the people stick with the woman they fought so hard to elect, or will the influence of the former governor’s camp find a way back into the legislative heart of the district? For now, the Senator is standing tall, insisting that there is “no shaking” regarding her seat.

As an editor, I see this as a test of the strength of the mandate. It is a reminder that in our democracy, the ultimate power belongs to the voters at the polling unit, and they are the ones who will eventually decide if any ambition is truly a threat or just another political rumor.
