The Senator representing Kogi Central Natasha Akpabio-Uduaghan has reacted to her six months suspension by the Senate amid her sexual harassment allegation against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
The Senate on Thursday suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, for six months.
The decision followed the adoption of recommendations of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, which found the Kogi lawmaker guilty of misconduct and failure to appear before the committee.
As part of the suspension, Akpoti-Uduaghan’s salary and security details will be withdrawn, and she will be barred from accessing the National Assembly complex.
Her office would also be locked, and her legislative aides would not receive their salaries during this period. The Senate further ruled out reconsidering her suspension until the six-month term ends or she submits a formal apology.

However, while the lawmakers were still voting on the recommendations, Senator Natasha told her colleagues that the injustice against her would not be sustained.
“This injustice will not be sustained,” she said before her microphone was turned off.
