The Senator representing Kogi Central
Senatorial District, Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan says her unjust suspension
from the Senate invalidates the principles of natural justice, fairness and
equity.
She made this known on her Facebook page while
reacting to her suspension on Thursday by the Senate as recommended by its
Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended for six months over
“total violation of the Senate Standing Orders, 2023 as amended”.
The Senate also approved that her salaries and
allowances be suspended.
Reacting, Akpoti-Uduaghan said that “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,” she said.
