Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senatorial candidate in Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has reacted to her victory at the Kogi Election Petitions Tribunal.
TRIBUNE ONLINE earlier reported the tribunal on Wednesday ruled that Natasha was the winner of the Kogi Central Senatorial election held in February.
While invalidating the victory of Senator Abubakar Ohere of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the tribunal chairman Justice K. A. Orjiako delivered unanimous judgement of the three-man panel, revealing that Ohere’s results were inflated in nine polling units in the Ajaokuta Local Government Area (LGA).
He added that the Independent National Electoral Commission reduced Akpoti-Uduaghan’s results in those areas and omitted the results of three other polling units meant for Natasha in the same LGA.
Following the necessary corrections, the court declared her the winner of the election with 54,074 votes, surpassing Ohere, who got 51,291 votes.
Reacting to the development on Facebook, Natasha wrote: “We WON!!! Victory for Kogi Central, Kogi state and Nigeria. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of PDP declared winner of the Kogi Central Senatorial Election 2023. Thank you God.”
Fans, friends and well-wishers, including PDP governorship candidate in Kogi, Dino Melaye and several others have since been congratulating Akpoti-Uduaghan over her victory.
