Natasha sparks rumour of defection after praising Tinubu on TikTok
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan fueled speculation on Saturday that she was about to defect when she posted a viral video of herself dancing to music praising President Bola Tinubu.
In a 15-second video shared to her TikTok channel, Natasha was seen chuckling as she repeatedly played a song by popular Kano artist Dauda Kahutu, also known as Rarara.
The musician had regaled the president with a rendition of his new Yoruba song titled “Asiwaju Omo Ologo” during a dinner event hosted in Katsina during his official visit.
Asiwaju Omo Ologo translates as ‘Asiwaju the glorious child’.
Natasha’s action has left her followers perplexed, with many wondering if she wants to abandon the Peoples Democratic Party for the ruling All Progressives Congress.
