Speculation is rife that embattled Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central may be considering defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC)—a move hinted at by a viral TikTok video showing her enjoying a song praising President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
🕺 The TikTok Moment
On May 8, 2025, Natasha shared a 15-second video featuring her giggling to a pro-Tinubu track by Kano artist Rarara. The song, “Asiwaju Omo Ologo,” has been closely associated with APC events and President Tinubu’s recent visit to Katsina.
🔁 Defection or Satire?
While supporters are puzzled, some political observers believe the video may be a sarcastic jab at the APC, given Natasha’s ongoing feud with Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

The plot thickened when UK-based businesswoman Sandra Duru claimed that Natasha offered her ₦200 million to falsely accuse Akpabio of organ harvesting.
But Nigerian journalist Francess Olisa Ogbonnaya countered Duru’s claims, alleging that Duru tried to recruit her instead to defame Natasha.

“Let the police do their job. Sandra is the real puppeteer. If she wants us to release the conversations, I’m ready. There are bigger names she mentioned.”
