Defiant Entry Amidst Suspension
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan faced an unexpected hurdle when she was denied entry into the National Assembly premises in Abuja, despite a court ruling in her favor. The senator, currently serving a six-month suspension, had announced her intention to resume duties following the judicial verdict.
A Standoff at the Gates
The confrontation unfolded as security personnel stopped the senator’s vehicle, along with that of activist Aisha Yesufu, from entering the assembly grounds. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the legislative body and one of its suspended members.
A Determined Walk-In
Undeterred by the initial refusal, Senator Natasha stepped out of her car and proceeded to enter the National Assembly on foot, accompanied by supporters. This act of defiance underscores the senator’s resolve to reclaim her position and challenges the authority of the Senate’s suspension.
