Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, senator representing Kogi central, has criticised Usman Ododo, governor of Kogi, over what she described as poor performance by his administration.
The lawmaker spoke in a video circulating on Tuesday, in
which she asked the governor to stop celebrating the payment of salaries as an
achievement.
She said Ododo should instead take a cue from his
counterparts in the country, including Alex Otti, governor of Abia.
“How come we have come this low that only thugs are being
rewarded? It’s really unfortunate. No development,” she said.
“See what other governors are doing. Look at Governor Alex
Otti of Abia state, an opposition. He is the only Labour Party governor. Look
at what he is achieving in his state.
“Yet you say you are paying salaries. Therefore, that’s an
achievement. But that’s not an achievement. It is your right.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan was sworn in as senator on November 2, 2023,
following rulings by the Kogi state election petition tribunal and the court of
appeal in Abuja, which declared her the winner of the Kogi central senatorial
election held in February 2023.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator is seeking
re-election in 2027 and is expected to face Yahaya Bello, Ododo’s predecessor
and the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Kogi central.
