The Ogori-Magongo Women Initiative has denounced the alleged scheme to tarnish the reputation of Ogori-Magongo women through an individual claiming to be an Ogori woman, who is leading the recall process of the lawmaker representing Kogi Central senatorial district, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
They noted that the women of Ogori-Magongo are known for integrity and stand for truth which they placed above monetary gains and the recent development where the image of the women of the community have been dragged to the mud through an individual parading herself as one of them, leading the recall process of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is strange.
“The women of Ogori-Magongo are known for their integrity and commitment to truth, prioritizing these values above monetary gains. However, a recent development has raised questions, as an individual claiming to be part of us who has been spearheading the recall process of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, tarnishing our hard-earned reputation”, they said.
They added that the true identity of the woman that allowed herself to be used as a ploy to recall a fellow woman and first Senator from Kogi State, who has outperformed her predecessors call to question.
“We, the women of Ogori-Magongo strongly support Senator Natasha. We understand the challenges of raising a girl child to her position in our society. She is a role model for our daughters, breaking barriers and changing perceptions about women’s leadership.”
“We distance ourselves from the shenanigans being at play, Senator Natasha has changed the narrative and the leadership priority, you will always have our support. “
The women also called on the Chairman of Ogori-Mangongo local government, Hon. Rosemary to desist from using security officials to intimidate the women of the local government kicking against the recall process.
They warned that the people of the local government are known for peace, truth, and integrity and will not comprise these values for personal gains.
