‘I avoided breaking the law by using helicopter’ — Natasha

Published on April 03, 2025 at 06:57 PM

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has disclosed why she used a helicopter instead of road transport for her recent visit to constituents in Kogi State.

Natasha, who represents Kogi Central senatorial district, said her husband advised her to use a helicopter.

The senator made this known on Thursday while fielding questions on Channels TV's Politics Today programme.

DAILY POST reported that Akpoti-Uduaghan received a rousing welcome from supporters in Kogi State on Tuesday.

This development occurred despite a government ban on rallies and processions.

Supporters from Kogi Central’s five local government areas gathered early in Ihima, Okehi LGA, to welcome the embattled PDP lawmaker.

She said: “When I saw the prohibition of fishing and water activities, the ban on convoys, and a list of checkpoints that suddenly appeared, barring entrance into my senatorial district—which spans from Ibilo to Kogi via Auchi, Okene, Abuja, Lokoja, Akure, Ikare, and other major roads—the situation was very intense, and I knew there would be trouble. And my husband said, ‘You know what? We can actually get a helicopter to land us right in our compound,' because we own the land opposite our village home. And that's how we got in.

“With that move, we broke no law, and the people gathered right in my compound. The road you see us walking through was constructed by me, so it's not a government road or facility. Therefore, I broke no law. I'm a good citizen of Nigeria, a law-abiding one at that. I'm sure you can attest to that.”
