‘I will contest Senate in 2027’, to consult family on governorship – Natasha
Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has confirmed her readiness to contest Senate in 2027 general election, but said, she would consult her husband and family if she has to contest for governorship of Kogi State.
She downplayed contesting for governorship, insisting that she has to get the nod of her family and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, if she has to.
The female lawmaker in the 10th National Assembly in an interview with Seun Okinbaloye on the Mic On Podcast on Saturday which was monitored by CAPITAL POST in Abuja.
She declared she was already in talks with the PDP on governorship as well as other stakeholders, adding that she has settled to re-contest for Senate.
She said, “I’m not even promised tomorrow; if by chance I live to experience the 2027 election, I may vie for the Senate again.
“That is what I’m currently in conversation with, with my political party and it’s not yet certain because I first have to get the buying of my husband and family.
“But if by chance he says go ahead I will take that step, as for the governorship in 2027, I don’t know and would not like to speak about that.”
She denied any plan to join the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, declaring that she remains a PDP member.
