The party structure helps a lot. From the result of the Senate Kogi Central in 2019, I, in SDP, had about 48,300 votes while the PDP sitting senator Ogembe, had 18,100. That means I defeated the sitting Senator, with over 30,000 votes, and then you begin to wonder what happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrdinarily, I would have had about 67,000 or 70,000 votes or much more. But I didn\u2019t have strong Polling Unit agents. Even, Ogembe, the little he had, he was able to secure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSystemic organization goes a long way in helping any candidate,\u201d She said.<\/p>\n<p>Natasha noted that if she was going to contest again, she needed to do something about the issue of structure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I asked myself, what I would do if I were to contest again,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Natasha noted how she had been the single person maintaining the SDP structure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s extremely difficult for a single person to maintain structures across the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was the most formidable person in SDP in the whole country. I was supporting the national; I was supporting many other states that were calling on me. I had to bear the burden of the entire Kogi state SDP,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs at the time I contested, there weren\u2019t more than 2,000 card-carrying members of the SDP, and you begin to ask where the 38,000 votes came from,\u201d Natasha said.<\/p>\n<p>She noted that it was because people from other political parties came out to vote for her, but they could not stand for her at the polling units to defend her votes.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what her followers\u2019 fates were upon her defection to another party, she said that she was still the same Natasha Akpoti.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, I\u2019m still the same Natasha, still carrying the same vision, with the same vigour and same character, just much better. I\u2019m still counting on their support.<\/p>\n<p>On March 5, the National Working Committee of the PDP led by the chairman, Dr Iyiorcha Ayu, were at the wedding of Natasha to High Chief Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan in Kogi state, a move that was regarded as an effort to woo her to the PDP.<\/p>\n<p>Natasha declined to speak on her forthcoming election until she had made her declaration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the former governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party in the 2019 elections has revealed why she moved over to the Peoples Democratic Party, laying emphasis on party structure.
