A socio-political group, Rescue Nigeria Economy Project (RNEP) has berated the silence of major northern senators over the alleged sexual advancement claims leveled against Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

Senator Natasha Akpoti- Uduaghan was last week suspended for six months for violation of the Senate’s rules days after she submitted a petition against Akpabio for sexual assault and other accusations.

On Tuesday, Natasha, who described her suspension as an injustice that cannot stand took her case to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Meeting at the United Nations in New York.

Reacting to the issue, RNEP, in a statement signed by its Executive Secretary, Dennis Alamu-George on Tuesday said the silence of northern senators such as Ali Ndume, Abdul Ningi and Abdulaziz Yari are worrisome as they appeared cowed into silence.

The group said the current senate is a far cry from the 1999 set in the Evan Enwerem and Chuba Okadigbo era as “they would have demanded that Akpabio step down for a thorough investigation or launch an impeachment move against him for bringing the Senate into disrepute”.

“ We are perplexed at the silence of vocal northern senators like Ndume, Yari and Ningi. Could it be that they are afraid of the presidency, especially given what happened to Ndume and Ningi who spoke out in the past? Could it be they are making their moves underground and they don’t want to bring attention to themselves so that President Tinubu who is heavily backing the Senate President won’t see them coming?”.

“Whatever it is, their silence is not golden at this moment at all. The current issue in the senate has been reported globally and it is not doing the already battered image of Nigeria any good” the group said.

In a related development, the Arewa Youth Assembly For Good Leadership (AYAGL) has called on President Bola Tinubu to call Akpabio to order over his antagonistic actions against northern senators.

Addressing a press conference in Kaduna, the speaker of the AYAGL, Ambassador Abdul Danbature reiterated that, “going by what has happened under the leadership of Senator Godswill Akpabio, we believe Akpabio is fighting the North directly or indirectly. Our reasons for this belief are not farfetched. The perfunctory suspension of distinguished Senator Natasha Akpoti recently has reinforced our beliefs that Akpabio is fighting the North”.
