The senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has pledged loyalty to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) despite being approached several times by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking in a recent interview on the Mic On Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye, Akpoti-Uduaghan rejected the idea of defecting amid calls from the ruling party and even her colleagues.
Responding to the APC being an alternative should things not go well with the PDP, the senator responded, “No, I wouldn’t. I was in APC briefly at the start of everything. Why should I go and join APC?
“I don’t have to follow the bandwagon. I don’t have to succumb to any threats or fall for any cajolery.
“I have been approached many times. I have been approached by people from the Presidency, from even my colleagues.
“Even as recently as yesterday, one joked about it: ‘We’re still expecting, we would love to have you.’ And I’m like, I love my space, I love my peace here. I’m okay with my party now, so I don’t think I have to join the APC,” she said.
