In its closing remarks, the IPU Chairperson noted that Senator Natasha’s statements during the proceedings differed from the actual contributions of the day. However, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) has acknowledged receiving Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s petition against Senate President Godswill Akpabio following her suspension from the Nigerian Senate.

“We have heard you, but we need to hear from the other side before making an in-house decision,” the IPU reportedly told Natasha, emphasizing the need for a balanced review of the matter.

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended for six months for what the Nigerian Senate leadership described as gross misconduct and disrespect to the institution of the Senate. Her suspension, which was supported by a significant number of senators, including female colleagues, has sparked controversy. Natasha, however, insists that her suspension was politically motivated, alleging that it was not about misconduct but rather a retaliation for her sexual harassment claims against the Senate President.

Determined to seek justice, Natasha has taken her case to the IPU, arguing that she was unfairly punished for speaking out. While the IPU has recognized her complaint, the body insists on hearing from both sides before taking a definitive stance on the matter.

She should also raise a false alarm against the IPU for telling her they will listen to other party and also her contribution is different from the matter on ground.

SporaD8:
Had she not been suspended, is this how every national discuss will be interrupted to entertain her personal interest?!
There are right channels through which personal grievance are addressed. Senator Natasha needs to be advised to stop constituting nuisance at every meeting she's invited .

I think this woman is in a hurry to destroy the Senate president's reputation for reasons best known to her. I mean the Senate president is a family friend and her husband's buddy. She could have explored that avenue to resolve any perceived victimization.
What Natasha does not know is that those UN people have also heard the debacle and know what her end game is hence the polite response she got.
She is really overdoing the whole sexual harassment thingy.

I am a woman but this woman here is very stupid. No wonder people don’t respect Africans because of fools like this. How did she manage to become a senator? She’s so immature and crazy. Shame on her constituents who voted her to represent them this way. These ones, na oyinbo de settle the matter for their village because you think of yourself so inferior. And she is half Oyinbo. Stupid woman. No sense at all.

Natasha and his IPOBs flies should proceed to file a petition against ipu!

Be careful of anyone who cries quickly, or talks too much in his/her favour.

While I condemn any form of sexual harassment; this woman's case is highly suspicious and malicious on many fronts. Why didn't she report the case at the instance of the alleged crime/misconduct? According to her narrative, why did she conceal the truth when her husband repeatedly asked her what went wrong that night?

Was she truly guilty of the misconduct the senate unanimously penalized her for? If yes, why the sudden diversion of attention from her misconduct to an old story that was not reported at the instance of occurence? Her manipulation game is so glaring. She simply played the sexual harassment card to gain public sympathy, knowing fully well that people would assume she was being penalized for claiming that the SP sexually harassed her.

Fear women!

Naturalgbola:
did you mean human rubber stamp?

datola:
Chai.

What if Akpabio is not found culpable at the end of the day.

I dont know how to like this comment 1,000 times. This is what I have been saying from the beginning, and everyone was against me. This lady has just one agenda. To destroy Akpabio completely.

Someone harassed you in 2023 as you claimed, you didn't report it as at that time, your husband didn't hear about it. nobody hear about it. Then in 2025 you are asked to change seat of which you refused, when you were reminded about disciplinary measures that could be taken against you. You now brought up sexual harassment allegation as the reason Senate President didn't listen to you.
You were reported to committee incharge discipline, you refused to obey their invitation
Even as everyone stood up as presiding officers enters the Senate you refused to obey
Now you are being discipline for misconduct you are running to an international organization for help.
Does this woman think well at all?
Does she think those foreigners are like some people here who think once you come up with empty, unverifiable allegation the Senate President supposed to resign?
Those people are not lame your your lame supporters here who only make you look more stupid
