"What she has been doing on the resuscitation of Ajaokut is enough to convince every discerning mind to rally round her and do more for Ebiraland .

"Because of my love for her and what she is doing for her fatherland, I traveled to Abuja alongside other traditional rulers here and I was moved by her tenacity when she spoke on the conspiracies behind Ajaokuta and what need to be done for the company to start working", he said.

Appreciating the royal fathers for believing in her, Natasha said, she has held on so long despite all odds because she wants to make a difference and liberate her people from poverty which Ajaokuta is capable of solving once it starts working.

"The entire Ebiraland and Nigeria has only one thing that can transform our lives which is the resuscitation of Ajaokuta steel company.

"The entire journey is tough, that is why I have come here to support me with prayer, I will be your voice and represents your interest at the upper chamber.

"This joueny is not a party journey, by next year Ajaokuta will be forty years and we have had a lot of political parties who promised to bring it back to life and eventually failed.

"The journey should be about the person involve. You all know what my late father, Dr. Jimoh Abdul Akpoti stood for, he never treat people based on clan or district affiliations, he stood for humanity, that is the same vision I have come with to liberate our people and bring smile to their faces", she said.
