ADC Warns Akpabio, Senate Over Obstruction Of Natasha’s Resumption

The African Democratic Congress has condemned the move to hinder the suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s return to legislative duties, describing it as an abuse of power and a direct assault on Nigeria’s democratic principles.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party accused the Senate leadership of disregarding both legal precedent and moral obligation by preventing the Kogi Central Senator from resuming her role after completing a six-month suspension.

Natasha was suspended on March 6, for alleged insubordination, losing salary, aides, and office privileges.

She insists the action was politically motivated after petitioning Senate President Akpabio over alleged sexual harassment, which the Senate dismissed.
