 Senator Natasha Returns to Senate After Six-Month Suspension

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has returned to the Nigerian Senate after serving a six-month suspension. The lawmaker, representing Kogi Central, was seen on the floor as the Senate resumed plenary on Tuesday. Her return marks the end of a suspension that was imposed in March 2025 for alleged misconduct during a protest over the reassignment of her seat. Prior to her official return, her office, which had been sealed, was recently reopened. During that time, she publicly criticized Senate President Godswill Akpabio, calling him a "dictator." The suspension had sparked significant public debate, making her reinstatement a notable event in the new parliamentary session.

Natasha Set to Resume Senate Duties After Suspension Ends

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) will return to the National Assembly later this month after completing her six-month suspension, her lawyer has confirmed. Speaking with The PUNCH in Abuja, her counsel, Victor Giwa, disclosed that the senator is currently on vacation in London but has already scheduled her return to plenary when the Senate reconvenes on September 23. “Actually, she’s ready to resume her term. She’s in London. Everything is in place, and the six months have expired. The only thing left is her resumption,” Giwa said.

Senator Natasha Set for Return as Six-Month Suspension Ends

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) has completed the six-month suspension imposed on her by the Senate on March 6, 2025, paving the way for her return to plenary. The lawmaker was barred from legislative duties, entry into the National Assembly, and access to official resources after being accused of breaching Senate rules. Akpoti-Uduaghan has consistently dismissed the sanction as politically motivated, insisting it was triggered by her petition alleging sexual harassment by Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Her suspension sparked weeks of controversy, peaking in July when she stormed the National Assembly with her lawyers, brandishing a court judgment she claimed ordered her immediate recall. With the suspension now expired, focus has shifted to how her return will unfold amid lingering friction with the Senate leadership. Political observers say her re-entry could test unity in the chamber as key legislative battles […]

Akpabio Urges Nigerians to Safeguard Public Facilities

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has urged Nigerians to take responsibility for protecting and maintaining government-owned facilities in their communities. He made the appeal on Tuesday during the commissioning of constituency projects in Ika Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Jackson Udom, Akpabio said his role as a lawmaker is to provide projects that benefit the people, while citizens must ensure the facilities are well-maintained. “You, as the beneficiaries of these projects, owe the government a duty to protect the facilities so that they won’t be vandalised or destroyed by enemies of progress,” he said. Akpabio stressed that communities should “own” the projects, noting that neglect or vandalism discourages further government investment. He also reaffirmed the commitment of President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration to grassroots development and economic empowerment. […]

The ongoing industrial action by the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has disrupted court proceedings nationwide—including the highly anticipated defamation trial of suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan . Originally scheduled for Tuesday, May 21, 2025 , the hearing was postponed due to the strike, which commenced on Monday, May 20, 2025 , as part of the union’s protest over unmet demands.
