Several ladies in Kogi Central have flocked to the streets to protest what they characterized as “injustice” following the conclusion of the senatorial election in the constituency.
The women in a white ritual rally encouraged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to declare Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan as the senator-elect in video recordings that the media was able to get.
The media learned the white ritual is done at sacred times to invoke the ancestral spirits of war against those who cheat or cause pain to the land.
Recall the Natasha had rejected the declaration of Abubakar Sadiku-Ohere of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as winner of the February 25 election for Kogi Central Senatorial District following the irregularities that marred the process.
Sadiku-Ohere beat Mrs Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to emerge winner of the keenly contested election.
Prof. Rotimi Ajayi, the INEC Returning Officer for Kogi Central Senatorial District, announced the result on Tuesday in Okene.
