NAGET Criticizes Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for Defying Senate Rules, Demands Public Apology

In a video released by TV360 Nigeria, the National Advocacy Group for Effective Governance and Transparency (NAGET) stated that the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is intended to be in her best interest.

According to NAGET, the six-month suspension provides Senator Natasha with the opportunity to thoroughly study and familiarize herself with the Senate’s rule book.

The group believes this period of reflection and learning is essential for her growth as a legislator and for improving her capacity to function effectively as a team player within the Senate.

Sources indicated that the suspension was prompted by Senator Natasha’s alleged refusal to adhere to established Senate rules, which she had sworn to uphold. It was noted that previous violations of similar rules had resulted in suspension, making her situation neither unique nor unprecedented.

A source emphasized, “Natasha’s suspension was strictly based on her refusal to obey the rules of the house. She swore to uphold them, and those who broke the same rules in the past faced similar disciplinary measures. She is not the first, and she is not the only one.”

Regarding Senator Natasha’s sexual harassment petition against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, insiders have dismissed it as lacking merit and being a mere afterthought.

They cited Senate Rule 40, which reportedly prohibits individuals from personally signing their own petitions, thereby undermining the credibility of her claims.

Additionally, reports suggest that Senator Natasha breached Senate protocol under Rule 5 by signing her own petition, a violation of established procedure.

Meanwhile, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Senators have been praised for their objectivity and patriotism in handling the matter.

Observers have commended their willingness to approach the issue impartially, rather than viewing it through a partisan lens, and supporting the disciplinary measures as necessary corrective action.

NAGET has also called on Senator Natasha to retract her allegations against Senate President Akpabio and issue a public, unreserved apology to both the Senate and its leadership. According to the group, such a move would serve her best interest and those of the constituents she represents.

The group warned that her continued efforts to publicize her allegations internationally could harm the reputation of the Nigerian Senate and the nation. They also hinted that if her actions persist, calls for extending her suspension may intensify.

“We renew our call for Natasha to withdraw her unfounded allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio and to tender an unreserved apology to the Senate. Continuing to spread falsehoods abroad damages the Senate’s reputation and, by extension, the Nigerian state. If this behavior does not cease, we may be compelled to demand an extension of her suspension,” NAGET stated.
