A video circulating on social media on Tuesday captured a jubilant crowd of supporters accompanying Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan back to the National Assembly as she resumed her legislative duties following months of suspension.
In the footage, the Kogi Central lawmaker was seen walking surrounded by cheering supporters. A man was also heard offering prayers for her, to which she responded, “Amen.”
In her words;” it is good to put institutions to test: no one is more Nigerian than us. Senator Akpabio is not more of a senator than I am, and he he treated me like I was his servant”, we cannot cower in the face of injustice. Even though I was suspended illegally, I effectively carried out my duties as a senator to Kogi central because I did not want them to suffer neglect”.
Upon resumption, the senator who had been suspended ,remained resolute ,stating that she had no apology to tender.
