Abdulaziz Abdulraz Mamman, the spokesman for the ‘Say no to violence in Ebiraland’ Initiative has sparked a lively debate by declaring Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan the most formidable political figure in Kogi State.
In an interview with Trust TV from 13:25, Mamman did not mince words, stating, “As far as I know, I’m not playing, in Kogi State today, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is the strongest political figure we have.”
This bold claim, coming from a respected civil society voice, highlights the significant public support and political influence the senator has garnered since her victory in the Kogi Central senatorial election.
Her emergence as the first female senator from Kogi State was widely celebrated as a triumph against entrenched political interests, particularly those of the All Progressives Congress, which had dominated the state’s political landscape.
Mamman’s assertion points to a shift in the power dynamics of Kogi politics. Akpoti-Uduaghan’s political journey has been marked by a resilience and determination that has resonated with a broad base of supporters.
Her victory, achieved through a legal challenge, was seen by many as a victory for the people over the political establishment. This sentiment has cemented her position as a champion of the common person and a symbol of hope for a new political order in the state.
The spokesman’s statement challenges the perception of who truly holds power in Kogi State. While the ruling party’s influence is undeniable, Mamman suggests that public allegiance and genuine grassroots support may now reside with the opposition.
The unwavering loyalty of her constituents, evidenced by rallies and public gatherings even amid political tension, underscores the potent political force that Akpoti-Uduaghan has become. Her ability to mobilize and inspire her people, despite facing significant political hurdles, is a testament to the strength of her political capital.
