Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, has disclosed that she has received several attempts from both the Presidency and some of her colleagues to convince her to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Senator, however, confirmed that she has “firmly rejected the idea.”
She emphasized that she remains committed to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), even in the face of the political crisis currently affecting the party.

Akpoti-Uduaghan made this revelation during a recent interview on the Mic On Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye, which was posted on YouTube on Saturday.
Asked if the APC was an option should things not go well in the PDP, she replied, “No, I wouldn’t. I was in APC briefly at the start of everything. Why should I go and join APC?
“I don’t have to follow the bandwagon. I don’t have to succumb to any threats or fall for any cajolery.
“I have been approached many times. I have been approached by people from the Presidency, from even my colleagues. Even as recently as yesterday, one joked about it: ‘We’re still expecting, we would love to have you.’ And I’m like, I love my space, I love my peace here. I’m okay with my party now, so I don’t think I have to join the APC.”
