Fight In The Senate: As Kogi Central Senator, I was Excluded From North Central Development Commission Meeting---Natasha Gives Vivid Account Of What Transpired
OpenLife Nigeria reports that Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan may not be finding the Senate atmosphere soothing at the moment as fresh trouble emerges over alleged financial recklessness.
Senator Natasha Akpoti, born December 9, 1979 at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, currently represents Kogi Central in the 10th Senate on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Only recently, the fair complexioned Senator had a heated argument with the Senate President, Senator Godswill Akpabio over seating arrangement in the Senate plenary.
So bad the situation became that Senator Natasha raised her voice and dared Akpabio, saying “I am not afraid of you. You cannot silent my voice.”
Aggregated opinions in the public space have been divided.
While many felt Natasha seems not to be knowledgeable about the Senate rules, others are of the opinion that Akpabio is not gender friendly and has crossed the line with likely consequences.
As stakeholders try to lend reconciliatory voices, a petition from Northern Youths Advocacy for Excellence, NYAE, a pan northern NGO, requesting an investigation into Natasha’s “breach of public trust,” surfaced.
The petition which was addressed to Senator Neda Imasuen of the Senate committee on Ethics, Privileges and Petitions, clearly requested that Natasha should be disciplined for her excess on the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission,NUPRC and other agencies.
Reacting on her face book wall, Natasha said:
Good morning courageous people of Kogi central, Kogi state and Nigeria.
This petition came to my notice a few hours ago.
In as much as I have refrained from publicly speaking on the matter and a lot of occurrences at the Senate under Senate President Akpabi, it’s about time I break my silence.
Arise News, set a date (from Saturday March 1st 2025) and I shall be in your studio in person. Spear no questions.
And to Nigerians, please be sure to join the probe which I shall insist would be covered live.
The next few days and weeks shall be interesting but will shape the standard and quality of Nigeria’s leadership.
Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan
