We’re fully behind you come rain come sunshine – Kogi youths tell Sen. Natasha
Youths in Kogi State on Sunday described the suspension of the Senator representing Kogi Central, Chief Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as crude and peremptory.
‘’The 10th Senate is heading in the wrong direction’’
They also reminded the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio of the dignity of his office.
In a statement to the press, the youths asked supporters of the Senate President not to drag down the reputation of the country.
They applauded Akpoti-Uduaghan for refusing to do things which galled her sense of decency, marital status and political height.
The statement issued by the Chairman of Kogi Central Youth Movement, Alhaji Mustapha Jato in Abuja tasked President Bola Tinubu on gender reforms in Nigeria.
It praised Akpoti-Uduaghan for touching and galvanizing the good people of Nigeria, especially Kogi Central.
‘’Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is a woman of charm and faith. She is also a hardworking, energetic woman and well respected by the people because of her genuine interest in their progress’’
The youths spoke well of Akpoti-Uduaghan’s initiative, thoroughness and seriousness of purpose.
They scolded a former aide to Dr Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Reno Omokri and his co-travelers for deviating from the truth.
‘’Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is an upright woman’’
The youths said those behind the campaign of calumny against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan were lily-livered politicians out to cause disaffection in the country.
They lauded decent Nigerians for supporting Akpoti-Uduaghan and speaking out against an absurd action.
The youths urged political office holders in the country to maintain certain standards of behavior, character and morality.
They advised hired hoodlums, sly and shifty individuals not to mislead Akpabio about the troubling feud with Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The statement emphasized truth, justice, poise and endurance.
It also denounced philandering, trivialization of allegations, back-biting and breaking of ranks.
Feelers from Rivers State indicate that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is contemplating to resign or face impeachment process.
Sources close to the embattled Governor say he is consulting his political allies on the next to honourably resign or fight till end.
Another source said that Sim told his confidants that he would rather resign than appear before the Amaewhule led Assembly nor wait to be impeached.
The crisis entrepreneurs told him to hand on, and courageously fight to the end. That self-seeking advice is reminiscent of what Macbeth did when all the forces were against him: Macduff and his forces advancing against him. Macbeth helplessly yelped:
In the circumstance, the honourable option now for Governor Fubara is RESIGNATION! That would make him a hero of a sort.
However, the public is watching how the event would unfold, as we are in an interesting time.

The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) has called Rivers State governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, to resign from office within 48 hours or be impeached by the State House of Assembly.
Chairman of APC in the state, Chief Tony Okocha, made the call on Monday morning while briefing journalists at his private residence in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
Okocha accused Fubara of insulting President Bola Tinubu, when he attempted to proffer a political solution to the crisis in the state.
He said: “As a political party, we are today advising the governor; there are two options, resign honourably or be impeached. That is the position of the All Progressives Congress. He has disrespected Mr. President and we told him that we cannot be here and have him to disrespect Mr. President.
“The offences are there; the Supreme Court has agreed and even provided us with more evidences. The House of Assembly does not need to set up any committee again to investigate him.
“48 hours is too much to give him as ultimatum. He should just resign honourably.”
