Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central in Nigeria, publicly endorses the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in Ekiti State, Dr. Oluwole Oluyede. Across reports, she describes Oluyede as a competent and experienced leader and says he is people-oriented, with the vision she believes will help move Ekiti forward. The senator makes the remarks as she canvasses support for Oluyede ahead of the state’s upcoming governorship election. One outlet reports that her campaign push takes place during the grand finale of the PDP governorship campaign, where she urges voters to back Oluyede. Another report similarly frames the event as a rally for Oluyede’s victory, tying her endorsement to efforts to mobilize voters for the June 20 election date mentioned by one source. Overall, the accounts agree that Akpoti-Uduaghan’s intervention is intended to strengthen the PDP candidate’s prospects in Ekiti by appealing to voters with her assessment of Oluyede’s suitability for the job.
