A national policy and advocacy group, Action Collective, has congratulated the senator representing Kogi Central at the National Assembly, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on her two-year anniversary in office, commending her resilience, courage and unwavering commitment to public service, despite political intimidation, institutional harassment and illegal suspension.
In a statement by its National Coordinator, Mr Teddy Onyejuwe, the group said the Senator’s two years in the National Assembly had been marked by visible impacts through constituency projects commissioning and empowerment initiatives that have directly benefited the people of Kogi Central.
According to Action Collective, the Senator’s steadfastness in fulfilling her mandate stands as a beacon of hope for Nigerian democracy, especially given the numerous challenges she has faced since assuming office.

“Her courage to continue working for her constituents under such adversity reflects true leadership and dedication to the ideals of justice, equity and democratic service,” the statement read.
Onyejuwe clarified that the Senator’s invitation to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and other members of the National Assembly to attend her second anniversary celebration on Sunday, November 2, at her Ihiama residence, is a normal legislative courtesy extended during such occasions, reflecting unity, respect and camaraderie among colleagues in the National Assembly.
He stressed that the invitation should not be politicised or misinterpreted, noting that it aligns with long-standing parliamentary tradition, where members celebrate milestones collectively, regardless of party affiliations or political differences.
The group reaffirmed its support for leaders who, like Akpoti-Uduaghan, continue to demonstrate integrity, service and accountability in governance, despite daunting challenges.
