Senate Shake-Up: Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Suspension Term Runs Out After Six Months
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, has officially served out her six-month suspension from the Senate, clearing the way for her to resume legislative activities.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The suspension, handed down on March 6, 2025, barred her from attending plenary sessions, accessing the National Assembly premises, and making use of official resources, following accusations that she breached Senate rules.
Akpoti-Uduaghan, however, has consistently dismissed the sanction as a witch-hunt, insisting it was retaliation for her petition against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, whom she accused of sexual harassment.
Her case triggered heated debates, particularly in July when she stormed the National Assembly with her legal team, brandishing a court judgment she claimed mandated her reinstatement. The dramatic scene stirred tension within the chambers and reignited conversations about accountability and gender politics in Nigeria’s legislature.
Now that her suspension has lapsed, focus has shifted to how the outspoken lawmaker will be welcomed back to the Senate floor amid unresolved friction with the leadership.
In August, Senate President Akpabio had demanded an apology from her, warning that “the Senate is not a reality show.” Meanwhile, his aide, Kenny Okolugbo, argued that Akpoti-Uduaghan’s move to the Appeal Court was proof that the earlier judgment she cited did not invalidate her suspension.
