Senator Natasha reports her suspension, case against Akpabio to UN Inter-Parliamentary Union

Senator Natasha




The Senate suspended the Kogi lawmaker last week, accusing her of violating its rules days after she submitted a petition against Senate President Akpabio

It appears the controversy over the allegations by Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill and her suspension from the Red Chamber may not be getting off the news anytime soon.

This is because the suspended Kogi Senator on Tuesday took her case to a global stage.

At the Women in Parliament session held at the Inter-Parliamentary Union Meeting (IPU) at the United Nations in New York, Senator Natasha is seeking justice and the intervention of global democratic institutions.

The lawmaker is asking for justice over what she described as injustice meted out to her. Senator Natasha described her suspension from the Senate as “illegal”.

After her speech, she expressed worry about her security. The Kogi Central lawmaker claimed there are indications that she may be held against her will in New York for speaking up on the issue at the global event by “the powers that be” from Nigeria. (Channels TV)
