Agbadorian bots have been updated on their WhatsApp platform to invade social space and demean Natasha, so as to cover up SP Akpabio pettiness.

Except you deliberately want to humiliate someone, there's no reason a good leader will act as Akpabio acted.

How can you act so condescendingly to a colleague like that and think it's normal?

What Akpabio did is called public humiliation and disgrace. It should only be done to serial and stubborn offenders. Except Akpabio can prove that she does this repeatedly despite being called to order respectfully and privately, his act remains unworthy of leadership.

Moreover, this isn't the first time he's having a cross fire with the woman. So it's easy to assume this was a deliberate witch-hunt.

This man has never been on the news for anything good since he became senate president. He should better try to fix his battered image. Oh, we're in Nigeria, there's no accountability here so he's immune to reckless and dirty PR.
Did you follow the story at all? About two members defected to APC which necessitated change of seats according to senate in house rules. Seats were changed, only Natasha refused to move and is claiming been silenced. From nursery school, the head of the class changes our seating arrangement without issues. How do you manage to politicize and feminise a change of seats for crying out loud?

She always like to prove stubborn, and I like how akpabio is handling her.

more reason I don't apportion blame, different stories will come out. Make no mistake the two party involved will find a way to make their story believable.
Nothing like believable...its a straight forward case... move to ur assigned seat or don't speak...its been in their senators rule book for decades ...no one has ever challenged it, till she came to the senate ...and u wonder why people go against electing women or giving them authority....

Don't worry, i now understand ur biased mindset. Not to d matter at hand but for hatred of akpabio n his master. Just as stated on d second paragraph.. u will be fine
Hatred?! Slow down buddy!
Since when did criticism become hatred? No wonder they arrest critics. To them critics are haters and must be silenced by fire or by force.

That was a set up by Akpabio acting in cahoots wiith the chief whip. Well planned
and discussed ahead of plenary[ quote author=Otamendi99 post=134233582]

I'm sure if u had watched d video wen all dis started, u won't say that. Akpabio was trying to calm d situation between her and d oda senator.. but instead she disrespected dat president office because she get plle like u weh go back her.[/quote]

..abi.. maybe it's because Natasha did not give it to Akpabio front and back in the other room 🙄
That's why a lawmaker cannot follow a simple and harmless rule that applies to the whole senate? Keep private fantasies out of work.

Mr rubbish there's a dress code in the chambers and she has clearly flouted it.
There is an ethics committee but obviously she's too big to be cautioned
What dress code did she flout? Talking off point with confidence

If you listen to her, you will know that Akpabio has been trying to silence her voice, she used that opportunity to speak her mind.

Same thing Ireti Kingibe complained about SP

She has a right to stand up against being bullied in the house. This was not the first time Akpabio is targeting her.

So because say na democracy, she should go against the senate rule ...

every little thing matters, tommorow she might ignore a more important order from the speaker. Deal with it before it spirals out of control.
I disagree totally we should stop being politically correct and trying to play the good guy here. Go and watch the video again. The SP has had series of reckless verbal attacks on her before now that he even had to apologize. Go do you independent verification. All the lady was asking for was to be recognized . if this is your dream country's day of doing things bon voyage.

We are too emotional in dis country especially wen we don't like the other person. Dia is a seat arrangement in NASS. Everyone speaks from dia, so y shld she not move to d seat assigned to her. Now everyone will say akpabio is after her kpekus.
One thing that some of you have refused to take away is this. The hallowed chamber are made of people voted for by different constituencies and no one is bigger than the other in the hallowed chamber. Akpabio was just chosen to lead the chamber and not to lord over the chamber's members. Courtesy demands that if any changes need to take place within the chamber, all members should as a matter of respect be carried along and informed adequately. The hallowed chamber is not a primary or secondary school classes. I don't think there is a permanent seat for any student in the tertiary institution.
The hallowed chamber should be a place of serious business but I am afraid that they have reduced it to house of comedy where trivia things are made mountain by them and those that suppose scold them and tell them to face the real issues.
This division they created in the chamber is the reason there is always division when it comes to national matters. No serious country divides itself in an hallowed chamber like Nigeria did.
I have been raising this concern for long, that why separation of seats for different parties in a Nigerian Assembly where issue of national importance need to be trash out.
To the main issue. Any change that suppose to take place in the assembly all members of the assembly need to be carried along and never should anyone be put in suspense for no reason because there are no lords among them but they are all equal. As a matter of fact none was voted as senate President or house leader or chief whip or any post they may have. Thy got to the Hallowed chamber and made one. If their colleagues are not comfortable with any of them, they can be changed forthwith if they so wished.
You people should stop seeing any of them as more superior than others. They are all equal.

She should have been bundled and thrown out of the chambers immediately. She lacks decorum, too bad for a woman of her status. I am sure she has no respect for her husband. Shame to her!

See the way you are foaming in the mouth over the standing rules you are obviously ignorant of.
Go and watch the full video,it's on youtube...borrow money to buy data.
Listen to where the chief whip once again read out the standing rules,if she's such a responsible woman, she would have simply obey and not cause unnecessary distraction in the chamber.
You lots clamoring for better nigeria are enablers of bad conduct.
Shame!!!.
You foolish , where has standing rules taking the country to ? Foolish set of people standing rule mess you up there

All i see is just a full note written without any point made. At first the matter was not between akpabio and Natasha, it was with a fellow kogi senator. Secondly: seats were changed for other senators just like her. Thirdly: every organization has house rules, wch everyone must follow. Dat u represent pple dont mean u don't have to follow rules. Fourthly: the U.S parliament wia we copied have seating arrangements. Democrats on the left and Republicans on d right. Same as in UK. Google is your friend. Next time please tell Natasha to speak from the seat assigned to her, believe me she is creating more enemies 4 herself.

There's nothing straight forward about this issue. Idiotic simpletons like you are the ones who think it's straight forward.

This is not the first time she's having issues with Akpabio. I recall correctly when the SP told her in front of the whole world that the Senate chamber is not a nightclub. But fools like you think it's plain white and black.

This your argument is fallicious. You are using argumentum ad hominem to prove a point. Can a wrong be right in any circumstance, NO. This Natasha failed it woefully. The sitting arrangement didn't affect only her. The house is house of order, for her to contribute as the representative of Kogi South, she must seat in the sit of authority designated for Kogi South that she is representing. This is the senate rule. When she was about to raise point of order under ethics and privileges, the chief whip raised point of order against her that she is not sitting on the mandate of Kogi people. This is reason why Akpabio ruled her out of order. Simple respect she doesn't have. The reason for this change of sit is because of defection of some senators.

The full video of the altercation between Senator Natasha Akpoti and the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio revealed Senator Natasha refused the change of seat as directed by the President of the Senate, following the Senate rules.

Many netizens rushed online blaming Senator Akpabio but having seen the full video and realised what truly transpired, Senator Natasha is now at the receiving end of the blame.
After seeing the full clip, I admit that Natasha was wrong and disrespectful.
