Abuja, Nigeria — Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, has demonstrated remarkable dedication to her legislative duties as she attended the screening session of the newly nominated Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan (SAN), despite feeling unwell.

In a post shared on her official Facebook page, Senator Natasha revealed that although she was “a bit ill,” she felt compelled to show up for the important national assignment.

“Even though I feel a bit ill today, I had to turn up for the screening and possible confirmation of the nominated Independent National Electoral Commission’s chairman in the person of Prof. Joash Amupitan from Kogi State,” she wrote.

She ended her post with a message of affection and solidarity, signing off, “Love always ❤️ – Senator Natasha H. Akpoti-Uduaghan, Compassionately Kogi Central 🇳🇬.”

Senator Natasha’s attendance at the screening, despite her health condition, has drawn admiration from many Nigerians, who commended her sense of duty and patriotism.

Her gesture once again underscores her reputation as a committed and compassionate lawmaker who continues to represent the interests of Kogi Central with diligence and empathy.
