Nigerian Senate Insists on Natasha’s Ongoing Suspension

According to the Senate, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, a member from Kogi Central, would stay suspended till the Senate returns from recess in two months.

Yemi Adaramodu, the red chamber of the National Assembly’s spokesperson, made this claim on Tuesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today show.

This came just hours after the Senate forbade the suspended member from returning to the National Assembly in Abuja to resume his legislative duties.

“The entire National Assembly, including the Senate, has a responsibility to play. We are lawmakers, not bystanders who watch others create content and perform skits. The content was first produced and is now deteriorating into seasoned movies.

“Until the Senate returns from recess in two months, the Senator will continue to be suspended,” he stated.

Recall that in March 2025, Senator Natasha was suspended for allegedly violating Senate rules following a dispute over seat arrangements with Senate President Godswill Akpabio, whom she accused of sexual assault. Akpabio refuted the accusation.

On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, the lawmaker attempted to continue Senate business but was denied access.
