In a dramatic turn of events, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District of Kogi State at the Senate has publicly condemned her six-month suspension from the Senate.

This is as she declared “This injustice will not be sustained.”

The suspension, announced earlier today, March 06, 2025, includes the withholding of all salaries and allowances.

Speaking moments after the suspension was announced on the floor of the house, Akpoti-Uduaghan expressed her resolve to challenge the decision, which she described as politically motivated and unjust. “I will not let this stand,” she asserted, hinting at potential legal or political action to overturn the suspension.

The New Diplomat reports that on February 20, 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.
