Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing the Kogi Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, announced today her intention to consult with her legal team and appeal to a higher court. This decision came after she was denied entry to the National Assembly, despite a valid court order that mandated her reinstatement.
However, a ruling by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court nullified her suspension, leading Akpoti-Uduaghan to declare her intent to resume her legislative responsibilities, she also questioned the basis of her initial suspension, stating that even the suspension was fraudulent and the document was faulty.
Speaking to journalists following the incident, Akpoti-Uduaghan condemned the Senate’s actions, calling it an act of contempt of court by the Senate under President Godswill Akpabio.
