Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the lawmaker for the Kogi Central Senatorial District, did not show up for Wednesday’s hearing of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, which is looking into her actions during the plenary session last week.
The female lawmaker had previously engaged in a heated exchange with Senate President Godswill Akpabio over seat allocation.
Akpoti-Uduaghan also accused Akpabio of publicly humiliating her and obstructing her motions and bills on the Senate floor.
Her refusal to accept the new seating arrangement led to the Senate President denying her the opportunity to speak during the session.
In response, the Senate referred the matter to its Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions.
At the committee meeting, the chairman, Senator Neda Imasuen (PDP, Edo South), expressed disappointment over Akpoti-Uduaghan’s absence, stating, “Senator Natasha was duly invited to this meeting. We hope she will join us as we continue.”
As of the time of filing this report, the Kogi lawmaker had yet to arrive for the hearing.
