Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, has condemned her suspension from the Senate, calling it unjust.
She was suspended for “gross misconduct” after a heated exchange with Senate President Godswill Akpabio regarding seating arrangements on February 20.
Following the altercation, Natasha accused Akpabio of sexual harassment, a claim he denied.

However, the Senate’s Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions Committee dismissed her petition on procedural grounds.
In a social media post after the events, the lawmaker stated that the actions of her colleagues would not undermine her legitimacy as a senator.
“Against the culture of silence, intimidation and victim-shaming; my unjust suspension from the Nigerian senate invalidates the principles of natural justice, fairness and equity.”
“The illegal suspension does not withdraw my legitimacy as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I will continue to use my duly elected position to serve my constituents and country to the best of my ability till 2027… and beyond.”
