Senate Denies Akpoti-Uduaghan's Return, Legal Battle Continues

The Senate rejected Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's return, citing ongoing suspension and legal proceedings. The Senate maintained that Akpoti-Uduaghan's suspension, initiated in March 2025, remains in effect pending a court ruling.

Despite the senator's intention to resume duties, the Senate emphasized the matter is sub judice and subject to legal processes. Akpoti-Uduaghan's suspension stemmed from allegations of insubordination and defiance of Senate directives, leading to a prolonged absence from legislative duties.
