Sen Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan To Resume After Six-Month Suspension— Lawyer Confirms

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, will return to the National Assembly later this month following the completion of her six-month suspension.

Her counsel, Victor Giwa, confirmed the development in Abuja, disclosing that the lawmaker, who is currently on vacation in London, has concluded plans to rejoin her colleagues when the Senate reconvenes on September 23.

“Actually, she’s ready to resume her term. She’s in London. Everything is in place, and the six months have expired. The only thing left is her resumption,” Giwa said.

The lawyer added that the Senate leadership was not expected to obstruct her return. “We have been told that even the leadership of the Senate is ready to welcome her. So that’s the situation at the moment. There is no obstacle at all,” he assured.

Recall that Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended on March 6 over allegations of insubordination after she declined to accept a change of her designated seat during plenary.
