Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has expressed profound gratitude to the people of Kogi Central, Kogi State, and Nigerians at large following the outcome of her legal battle, describing the moment as “a long walk to justice.”

In a statement on Tuesday, the lawmaker noted that the victory was not hers alone but a collective achievement made possible by the voices, prayers, and support of Nigerians across diverse sectors.

“This isn’t my victory alone, it’s ours to behold and celebrate,” she declared.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan singled out the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Womanifesto, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), political parties, and other groups that stood firm in demanding accountability and justice throughout the process.

She also paid tribute to her husband, children, and “the many heroes who have become family in the cause of our pursuit for justice,” assuring them of her “endless gratitude.”

Reaffirming her faith in Nigeria, she said the collective sacrifices of the people would ultimately yield a fairer and more equitable country.

“On God, People and Country,” she concluded, signing off as “Proudly Kogi Central.”
