Senator Natasha Issues Ultimatum to Senate for Resumption

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has given the Senate an ultimatum to facilitate her resumption of legislative duties or face legal action. Her counsel, Michael Jonathan Numa SAN, demanded her immediate reinstatement following the expiration of her suspension on September 6.

Numa criticized the Senate's continued restriction on Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, citing legal misinterpretations and unlawful actions. The letter to the Clerk of the National Assembly emphasized the senator's right to resume pending litigation outcomes and threatened legal proceedings if the demand is not met promptly.

The standoff underscores the tensions between the legislative branch and Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, raising concerns about the rule of law and the separation of powers in Nigeria's political landscape.
