Natasha Returns to Senate after Six Months Suspension

Date:

Senator representing Kogi central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on Tuesday, returned to her seat in the Senate to resume her legislative duties.

According to TheCable, the Senator walked into the senate chamber at about 11.42am with a smile and smirk, made her way to her seat and after making herself comfortable, exchanged pleasantries with a few senators.

The legislator was accompanied to the senate by a handful of activists and loyalists, including Aisha Yesufu, who was spotted in the gallery.

Some of the lawmaker’s supporters were, however, not allowed into the senate gallery.

Her return, in as much as a court described her six-month suspension as excessive, followed after she exhaustively served out the half a year suspension.

The senate had earlier unsealed her office to pave the way for her return, days after the national assembly insisted that she remained suspended, citing ongoing litigation.

Her resumption comes amid longstanding controversy over her allegation of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

During her suspension, imposed on March 6, 2025, Akpoti-Uduaghan was not allowed access to her office, with her security detail and allowances withdrawn.
