The NLC accused the Senate of undermining the constitution and judiciary by prolonging the suspension of Senator Natasha, representing Kogi Central.
The statement signed by NLC President Comrade Joe Ajaero highlighted the Senate's refusal to comply with a court ruling that voided the senator's suspension. The NLC warned that such actions threatened democracy and the social contract, portraying a dangerous trend towards authoritarianism.
