A TikTok video of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan dancing to the song “Omo Ologo,” which is a tribute to President Bola Tinubu, went viral. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan represents Kogi Central in the National Assembly. She has since distanced herself from the video.
The public was warned not to be mislead by parody accounts on several social media platforms, and Akpoti-Uduaghan herself denied owning any TikTok accounts in a public disclaimer that was posted through her verified X (previously Twitter) account. I am not the owner of a TikTok account,” she wrote in her message.
There are a plethora of spoof profiles on X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok that use my name. A number of them have amassed sizable fan bases.
The footage that has been going around was really taken from a tape from 2023 and edited with “mischievous intent” to trick people, she explained.
“I implore everyone to ignore the playful post that was created using a video I uploaded in 2023, even though I have the highest regard for the President,” she said.
The senator seemed to be allying herself with the president’s camp in the video, which was set to the praise song “Omo Ologo” performed by Dauda Kahutu Rarara during an event that Tinubu recently attended in Katsina.
