Nigerian activist and musician Charly Boy has once again spoken out in support of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, praising her bold decision to arrive at her homecoming rally in Kogi Central via helicopter, despite state-imposed restrictions.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who has been facing numerous obstacles in her political journey, showed resilience in the face of adversity. The senator, who has been vocal about her stance on several national issues, was defying the government’s restrictions that sought to prevent her rally and movement in the state.
Her helicopter arrival not only symbolized her determination but also sent a message to those who attempted to silence her. In a post on Instagram, Charly Boy shared a picture of Natasha, showing his unwavering support for her and shaming those who tried to disrupt her rally.
In his post, Charly Boy criticized those responsible for blocking the roads to prevent Natasha from holding her rally, writing, “Shame to those who blocked the road for Natasha and forgot that the sky is too wide for the beautiful bird to land and take off. Yeye people, una don see wetin pass una. Shameless men. Ur Fada’s.”
The outspoken singer, known for his controversial opinions, made it clear that he was not afraid to call out those in power who attempted to stop Natasha. His words were filled with contempt for the actions of those who sought to restrict her, with his strong language sparking further debate in the comment section of his post.
It was a bold statement that added fuel to the fire of the ongoing political and legal battles surrounding the senator.
Charly Boy’s post quickly gained attention, with many of his followers praising Natasha for her courage and resilience. “Very shameless old men, Natasha keep pressing their neck,” one commenter wrote, applauding the senator for standing her ground. Another follower commented, “She showed them action movie,” referencing the dramatic nature of Natasha’s arrival at the rally.
The support from Charly Boy and his followers demonstrated the widespread admiration for Natasha’s determination in the face of political and personal challenges. It also underscored the political divide in the country, with many opposing the actions of the ruling party and siding with the embattled senator.
The rally, which was meant to be a peaceful event, took place against the backdrop of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s ongoing legal battles. She is currently embroiled in a contentious dispute with Senate President Godswill Akpabio, who is facing allegations of sexual harassment from Natasha.
This legal struggle has only added to the senator’s challenges, as she has also been suspended from the Senate for six months due to alleged violations of Senate rules.
Her suspension has sparked debates within the political community, particularly as it is rumored that members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are pushing for her recall, further intensifying the political climate surrounding her.
Despite these obstacles, Natasha’s rally in Kogi Central was a statement of defiance. As she arrived via helicopter, she was greeted by a cheering crowd of supporters, all eager to show their solidarity with the senator. In her Facebook post earlier that morning, she expressed her excitement for the rally, stating, “My dear people of Kogi Central, I look forward to our PEACEFUL Sallah celebrations today.”
However, she also cautioned that if any violence erupted during the event, the blame should be placed squarely on Governor Yahaya Bello, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and Governor Ododo.
Her words were a warning that any disruption would not go unnoticed and that those in power would be held accountable. Her rally was a powerful demonstration of her resolve, despite the many challenges she faced in her political career.
