The embattled senator representing Kogi central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has described her suspension from the senate as unjust.

Natasha was suspended by the senate for “gross misconduct” following a heated argument with Senate President Godswill Akpabio over seating arrangement on February 20.

Natasha later accused Akpabio of sexually harassing her, an allegation which Akpabio denied.

However, in a social media post after the episodes, the lawmaker said her colleagues’ actions would not diminish her legitimacy as a senator.

“Against the culture of silence, intimidation and victim-shaming; my unjust suspension from the Nigerian senate invalidates the principles of natural justice, fairness and equity.”

“The illegal suspension does not withdraw my legitimacy as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I will continue to use my duly elected position to serve my constituents and country to the best of my ability till 2027… and beyond.”
