Natasha Akpoti-Sworn In As Kogi Central Senator
By Haruna Yusuf, Abuja
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has sworn in the new senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The oath of office was administered on Akpoti-Uduaghan by the Clerk of the Senate, Mr. Chinedu Akubueze during plenary on Thursday.
After taking the oath, the new Senator was handed a copy of the Senate Standing Rules by Akpabio,
She was later led to her seat by the sergeant at arms after exchange of pleasantries with her colleagues.
The appellate court dismissed the appeal filed by Senator Abubakar Ohere for lacking in merit.
Earlier in September, the Kogi State Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Lokoja had nullified the victory of Ohere of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The court further declared that Akpoti-Uduaghan was the actual winner of the senatorial poll.
