Senator’s Resolute Return to Senate

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has announced her plans to resume her duties at the Senate on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, in adherence to a court’s ruling. This decision comes despite an appeal by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

Commitment to Constituency Amid Challenges

While her suspension did not prevent her from working for her constituency, it significantly restricted her ability to sponsor bills and motions in the Senate. Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan emphasized her ongoing efforts in representation and oversight, ensuring her community’s needs are addressed in the federal budget.

Legal and Legislative Standoff

The senator has formally communicated her intention to resume her Senate duties, highlighting the court’s decision as a mandate rather than a mere order. Her return marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing dialogue between judicial rulings and legislative protocols.
