Ado-Ekiti—The Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has condemned the alleged arrest of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State by the All Progressive Congress (APC) ahead of the June 20 governorship election, urging the government to immediately release the detained individuals.

Speaking during the PDP mega rally held over the weekend in Ado-Ekiti, Senator Natasha described politics driven by intimidation and bitterness as unhealthy for democracy, insisting that political parties and candidates should instead compete based on the strength of their manifestoes and ideas.

Recall that PDP had accused the APC of intimidating and arresting its members under the guise of ‘Form K’ to disenfranchise them ahead of the election.
