Sen. Akpabio is alleged to be randy. If she points in that direction, true or false, Akpabio loses automatically.

It is not enough to accuse someone, you must be able to prove the allegations.

That’s what we want. Natasha is exactly the type of Senator that we need. We need Senators who we can hold accountable for happenings in the country. We need Senators who have nothing to hide, knowing that they were voted for and elected to make our societies better. Tell us what goes on in the National Assembly. Tell us how they allocate the commonwealth to themselves, while they impoverish the citizens sand insult their sensibilities.

Now the ball is in the court of Mr. Akpabio and his group. After the ethics committee meeting, they can choose to suspend her and face the consequences of what the public will hear from Senator Natasha.

We are all ears Senator Natasha.
Unfortunately, everyone in the public isn’t sentimental and easily swayed by cheap blackmail.
As much as I dislike Akpabio and this APC administration, blackmailing him with false allegations is not the way to go.

What is concocted about the suspension? So dressing indecently, speaking when not recognized by the SP or refusing to take her new seat is abiding by the senate rules?
So if you want to hear what is happening in the senate, is it from a new senator like Natasha that is not in the inner caucus or from a veteran senator? That you dislike Akpabio doesn't mean you will lie against him sir. Why so biased
Sorry friend, I do not dislike Akpabio. I simply do not want us, as citizens, to continue to bear the brunt of irresponsible leaders, irrespective the political party.

See the pot calling the kettle black. Have you ever looked at national issues without some form of bias? You only have the lens of APC in all matters and I do not expect any much from you. You are the absolutely biased person, abeg.

But there you are, lying against Senator Natasha. If she was indecently dressed, why was she not stopped from entering into the Senate chambers? After all they have their dress code, as you already know. If Akpabio was not a nightclub patron, how did he come to the conclusion about Natasha and his alleged nightclub dressing? And if your favourite Akpabio wanted to be matured, why did he not overlook her sometimes. If she was a member of your party, APC, would you not be defending her?

If Senator Saraki walked him out when he was in the same situation, what would you all be saying now? If your favourite Senator Akpabio, without malice in his heart, respectfully asked her to get to her newly assigned seat and then be recognized as Saraki did with him, would there be an issue? If he did that, would another seat not have been assigned to her, if all was well between the two of them? At least from Natasha and Ireti Kingibe, we now know that Akpabio has issues personal issues with fellow Senators, especially the opposition.

What has knowing what’s happening in the Senate chambers got to do with being a veteran or not? Or are the tricks, games and politics and history reserved for veterans only? As the Chairman, Senate Committee on the Diaspora and Nongovernmental Organisations, how is Senator Natasha not part of your claimed inner caucus? If a serving Senator cannot tell you what’s happening in the senate chamber, who else should? A bricklayer or a mechanic?

Cheap blackmail and he has not disproved them? Where are the sentiments in the face of real issues confronting the Senate of the federal republic. Having tv cameras and media houses serves to let citizens into events in the National Assembly. A matter as this is of national importance to all citizens.

The people in her constituency voted her in to pass bills that will favour them but instead the highlight of her 2years in office is to fight over sitting arrangement and some people are cheering that on because their hate for APC is devoid of common sense.

That is the way the Abuja senator was busy fighting Wike over illegally gotten land, meanwhile Wike keeps constructing and fixing roads and have something to show for his time in office.

They think playing the female victim-card works when there are literally laws and rules guiding every action.

Well, I blame Akpabio for not exercising the power of the Senate President to the fullest.
He plays with them too much.

Some people dont realise how powerful the seat of the Senate President is.
On paper he is the 3rd in command but in reality, he is more powerful than the VicePresident.
Only the President is above the Senate President in reality.

He is literally the head of the second arm of government(the legislative) and has as much influence as the President(who heads the Executive arm) on who becomes the head of the third arm(Judiciary) - Chief Justice of Federation.

Good, we are getting somehow. You now admitted that she was indirectly at fault. Well, leaders are different and have different approaches. The senate rules book has prescribed punishment for violations but waving such punishments are at the discretion of the leader or SP in this case. When she started dressing indecently, Akpabio cautioned her, he didn't send her away at first. Besides, she never denied dressing indecently. That fact was established. Whether Akpabio goes to nightclub or not is his business not mine or yours. But how they conduct themselves in the senate and during official working periods is of national import...

Ndume is of APC and I supported his suspension. When Akpabio misbehaved during Saraki's tenure, did he not apologize and was forgiven? By the way, saraki was more harsh and draconian with punishments. Has Natasha ever been remorseful or apologetic? Natasha is a serial offender, she has burned the candle of mercy. How many times will they forgive her? Oshiomhole at the beginning of the senate made some false claims and he later apologized and the matter was waived. Sen Kawu sumaila alongside Ningi made false claims though Kawu later retraced his steps and was apologetic...

For senator Kingibe, she drew the attention of the senate to market issues which constitutionally are in the residual list and therefore out of the jurisdiction of the senate. Akpabio told her this and she ignorantly left. She was damn wrong. I think she also tried to bring the Wike issue in the senate which was mischievous of her but at least, she has behaved. There are over 10 other female senators in the senate. Have you seen Akpabio having issues with them? Akpabio sometimes misyarn but he is right...

Did Mark, Saraki and Lawan not have issues with several senators? Can you please everyone? Why get inner senate info from a fresher chairing an inconsequential committee when you can get more info from ranking senators or the leadership or the spokesman Sen Adaramodu except it's all about sensationalism, a chance to hit at Akpabio who you love to hate? Even the famed critic Abaribe would not stand with her so better retrace. A simple apology from her would have killed the matter.

Uduaghan’s money na your money? You be Uduaghan wife or family?

Was she married to Uduaghan when she started contesting elections?

Natasha came to national prominence in 2018, when she presented a report on the crooked activities in Ajaokuta steel mill. I think it is dangerous for Akpabio or fellow Senators to look down on someone like her.

Natasha was the choice of her constituents, who voted for her party PDP. Her victory makes her represent her constituents irrespective of political affiliation. Akpabio is not happy that she defeated Abubakar Ohere of APC, leading to that reckless comment. That you did not vote for Tinubu in your area, does not remove the present reality that he is the President of the whole of Nigeria.
Their business.

Bye!

Thankfully you said “we are getting somehow”.

Have you seen Senator Natasha indecently dressed? How do you define indecent dressing? Have you seen her shabbily dressed in the National Assembly? Except Akpabio and certain APC members and supporters are looking out to see her flesh, then their definition of indecent dressing is warped. Akpabio withdrew that nightclub statement and apologized to her. Was she wearing bum shorts or jeans to their meetings? At 45 and a mother of three children, does Akpabio or any Senator, not to talk of other APC members/followers, need to teach her how to dress decently?

Their altercation of the other day was very unnecessary, only if Akpabio had properly handled the situation. That’s not the first time Senators fought over seating positions.

About April last year, Senators Sahabi Alhaji Ya'u, Danjuma Goje and Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele engaged themselves in a serious argument over the seats allocated to them in the newly renovated chamber of the National Assembly in Abuja. The fight was about the seating arrangements after their chamber was renovated. Their complain, just like Senator Natasha, was that they were given seats at the far right corner of their chamber. The same Akpabio was and is still the Senate President. He asked them to approach him and they did, as we all saw. Why did he not follow the same route, except that he felt something against her. Akpabio simply did not allow Natasha to be heard, even as she came in order 10 of the standing rule. There was absolute intolerance on his part. There have been more difficult situations with Senators and they found ways to resolve them.

If your favorite Senate President had communicated properly with the Clerk and by extension Senator Natasha, would that have happened? There was no communication in any form before the Senator took her seat and that’s obvious. If there were no previous issues, would Senator Natasha be suing Akpabio to court. Afterall, I mentioned earlier that there must have been some differences before then.

Now the ethics committee will sit and decide her fate, right? They also know that they have a time bomb in there and not a spineless coward. They suspend her, she says all she knows. For me, I want to listen. For you, gra gra from APC legislators is the answer.

You admitted that Akpabio sometimes “misyarn”. The truth is that talking carelessly has been his stock in trade since when he was the governor of Akwa Ibom state.

His problem with Senator Kingibe also centered on intolerance, looking down on the woman and not allowing her present or follow up with her bills. The Wike issue was aggravated by the same Akpabio when he was invited by Wike to launch one of the projects. He said and I quote:

“I saw one of the legislators on television talking about you (Wike) and mentioning the fact that she was not carried along,” he said.

“Well, she is a member of the Senate. Once a decision is taken, she is bound by the decision. So, please ignore every distraction (from her) and be rest assured that no matter what you do, not everyone will praise you. Others will still try to find faults,”

How was that honorable of the so called leader of the Senate. He talked down on her, even though the matter was eventually resolved. Senator Kingibe’s matter was bringing up the issue of demolition going on by Wike in the FCT. Again she was complaining that Wike was not addressing the desperate issues with the people of the FCT, such as water, etc. There was no mischief. The fact remains that between Wike and Kingibe, there’s no love lost.

If Akpabio handled the matter with some decorum, would the matter not end there?
