Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has reacted to her suspension from the Senate, saying
that the “injustice against her “will not be sustained.”
She stated this on Thursday while reacting to the decision of the Senate to suspend her for six months
She said, “This injustice will not be sustained”, before being escorted out of the chambers.
Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan on February 20 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.
During plenary on Thursday, the Kogi lawmaker resubmitted her petition against the Senate President.
However, the Senate’s Ethics Committee recommended Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension for six months for engaging the Senate President in a heated debate over seating arrangements.
