Lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has described her suspension from the Red Chambers as an injustice that will not be sustained.
Senator Natasha’s statement is coming, after a decision was made on Thursday by Senate disciplinary committee, following a dispute between her and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
She was suspended from the National Assembly for six months after she was found guilty of disrespecting the upper chamber’s code of conducts.
Reacting to the development during a plenary session on Thursday, Mrs. Natasha insisted that her suspension will not stand, adding that it is an injustice decision made by the Red chamber.
She said: “This injustice will not be sustained.”
Recall that on February 20, 2025, Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan engaged in a heated debate on the floor of the upper legislative chamber over a change in seating arrangements.
Days later, during an interview on Arise News, Akpoti-Uduaghan alleged that her troubles in the Senate began after she rejected sexual advances from Akpabio.
She submitted a sexual harassment petition against Akpabio on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on Wednesday.
However, the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions rejected the petition, citing breaches of due process and Senate rules.
