The Nigerian Senate has ruled out reversing the six-month suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central. Senate spokesman, Yemi Adaramodu, stated that the Senate would adhere strictly to its rules and not be swayed by external pressure.

“There is no pressure anywhere that can take our eyes away from our noble statutes. The Senate will always regulate her conduct, as empowered in the Nigerian Constitution and as enshrined in our Standing Orders,” Adaramodu said.

The Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro, also asserted that “There is no pressure,” adding, however, that “Sometimes it is wisdom to allow time to heal wounds.”

Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended on March 6, 2025, after the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions found her guilty of breaching the Senate Standing Orders.

Meanwhile, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has contested the jurisdiction of the Federal High Court in Abuja to hear Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suit challenging her suspension.

Through his legal team, led by Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN), Akpabio argued that the court had no authority to interfere in the internal affairs of the Senate, insisting that legislative matters should be resolved internally.

Akpoti-Uduaghan had approached the Federal High Court seeking to stop the Senate Ethics Committee from investigating her. On March 4, 2025, Justice Obiora Egwuatu summoned the Senate to appear before it and explain why Akpoti-Uduaghan’s prayers should not be granted.

The court directed the Senate to justify, within 72 hours, why it should not be permanently restrained from investigating the senator for alleged misconduct.

After reviewing the documents, Justice Egwuatu confirmed service and adjourned the case until March 25, 2025, directing all parties to file necessary responses before the next hearing.

The Tinubu/Shettima Support Movement and Nigerian Professionals in Diaspora on Thursday rose to the defense of Senate President Godswill Akpabio, dismissing allegations of sexual harassment leveled against him by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as “false” and “politically motivated.”

According to the groups, Akpoti-Uduaghan’s allegations are part of a broader scheme by anti-APC forces to remove Akpabio as Senate President due to his cordial relationship with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
