The Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has demanded that her investigation by the Senate Committee on Ethics is broadcast live.
The Senator in making her demand, stressed that Nigerians have a right to witness the process.
Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was referred to the Senate’s Ethics and Disciplinary Committee following her clash with Senate President, Godswill Akpabio over a seating arrangement, added that she is ready to appear before the panel but rejects the proceeding being conducted behind closed doors.
In a statement she posted on her Facebook page on Thursday, the lawmaker said she had so far refrained from speaking publicly on the issue and other developments in the Senate but had now decided to break her silence.
She wrote, “Good morning courageous people of Kogi Central, Kogi State and Nigeria
“This petition came to my notice a few hours ago.
“In as much as I have refrained from publicly speaking on the matter and a lot of occurrences at the Senate under Senate President Akpabio, it’s about time I break my silence.
“And to Nigerians, please be sure to join the probe which I shall insist would be covered live.
“The next few days and weeks shall be interesting but will shape the standard and quality of Nigeria’s leadership.”
