ABUJA: Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has declared that her suspension for six months by the Senate was illegal.
And prior to leaving the Senate Chamber on Thursday and her colleagues slammed the suspension on her, she also described it as an act of injustice, declaring: “This injustice shall not be sustained.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan posted the reaction on her Facebook page.
She said: “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.”
