Concerned Nigerians in Diaspora condemn suspension of Natasha, vow to petition global bodies :

The Concerned Nigerians in Diaspora, a forum representing Nigerians living abroad, has condemned the recent suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan by the Senate, describing it as a grave injustice and a dangerous precedent for women’s empowerment in Africa.

In a statement signed by its Convener, Comrade Seyi Oladipo, the group decried the six-month suspension imposed on Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The forum insister that the process leading to her suspension was flawed and intended to silence a female lawmaker who dared to speak out.

Convener of Concerned Nigerians in Diaspora, Comrade Seyi Oladipo said: “This is an affront to justice and democracy. The suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is not just about her as an individual—it is about the broader implications for women in leadership and governance across Africa.

“If a female senator can be punished for speaking up, then what hope is there for ordinary women who face discrimination and harassment daily?”

The group also condemned the use of hired protests aimed at discrediting Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, calling it a desperate attempt to tarnish her reputation.
