Suspended for gross misconduct without a fair hearing.

Pathokpo:
Though I don't like Akpabio because of his insensitive utterances , we all in this country are very much aware that Natasha is not being penalized because of her allegations but because of her total disregard of the entire Senate arrangements. We are all aware she's just trying to shift attention away from her actual act to something totally different.
Why didn't she level complain on her being sexually harassed ever since before her gross misconduct in the Senate Assembly?
Please don't tell me she felt intimidated and didn't know what to do. That would be a huge shame on her office and the level of experience she has acquired. Does it surprise you that what to do miraculously come her when she anticipated that she would be penalized for her gross misconduct?
Those that understand people like Natasha would understand that she is just trying to manipulate Nigerians and gather support from feminist sympathisers.

Harvey267:
So its clear now that Natasha’s suspension was about discipline, not gender oppression. Women belong in leadership, but rules apply to everyone.

In Nigeria, if a poor man offends the powerful, justice is instant — a truckload of Mopol, thugs, and vigilantes is dispatched without delay.

But now, a female senator has accused a fellow senator of sexual harassment, and the silence is deafening.
• No word from the Minister of Justice
• No investigation from the Senate
• No statement from the Judiciary or Presidency

Suddenly, the same system that punishes the poor without trial becomes shy, careful, quiet — because the accused is part of the elite.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t just hypocrisy, it’s complicity. And the world is watching.

Soon, a U.S. or European journalist will ask the Nigerian President:

“What actions were taken after this public allegation? Has it been investigated? What protections are in place now?”

And what will the reply be?

Silence here equals guilt. Delay equals shame.

This scandal won’t die. It will grow, and when it goes international, it will haunt Nigeria’s image.

Act now — or prepare to answer under brighter lights.

A woman becomes powerful when she is surrounded by Weak men especially her present husband . He has no control over her.

SporaD8:
With the way she's going, it will be a miracle if she returns to the Senate.
It is bad enough that she disregard the Senate standing order. Now using the Nigerian passport to go usurp Nigeria slot to speak at the IPU is a flagrant disrespectful/disdain to the Country. A Senator of the Federal Republic aught to know better!
At this juncture, it will be well within Nigeria's right to seize her passport for portraying the country's image in a bad light!

Globad:
I was actually surprised to listen to her one-sided account of what happened. She conveniently skipped the seat disagreement and conduct which happened BEFORE the allegation of sexual harassment

I don't even like when some people think that toothless international organisations will solve domestic problems for them. Will they come to Nigeria to beat people?

She should passionately follow through the petition she submitted on sexual harassment while providing convincing and irrefutable proofs. Both the victim and alleged offender deserve fairness.

MadamExcellency:
The Senate replied to her allegations (a typical blackmailing trait by Night Clubers) using her fellow woman in the Senate who is officially representing Nigeria in IPU - Case closed.

kingbee90:

See how grown ass men are telling lies. I thought they said they are not scared of Ipu.
Natasha was suspended because of the He-goat who tried to "screw" her but she refused.
No worry, evidence go soon begin fall out.

deji17:
The Police is well equipped to investigate her allegation and the law court is where people who feel their rights has been infringed upon are supposed to go to. So, what is the essence of the theatrics that Natasha is performing?

“Let it be unequivocally stated that Uduaghan was suspended solely for her persistent act of misconduct and disregard for the Senate Standing Orders.”

Obiedun:
Go through the archives. Immediate apology could have solved all these.
Akpabio apologiesed to Saraki.
Ireti apologiesed last December.
Saraki suspended Abdul Ningi.
Arthur Nzeribe refused to apologise, his suspension was never lifted for almost 3yrs, & was not re-elected.
The person who told you that the Senate can’t suspend a Senator for more than 4 weeks lied to you. It’s propaganda. Natasha wasn’t suspended for 6 months to silence her. She was suspended because she broke rules and refused to apologize. Her suspension has got nothing to do with her sex@al assault blackmail as she claimed.

Sorry,o!
Can a 🐐 report it's case to the lion 🦁 without it being consumed?

OnionBandit:
My former female boss would often advise me that, as a woman in a professional setting, it's best to avoid using excuses or defenses that are stereotypically associated with women, such as menstrual issues or childcare responsibilities, as they can perpetuate the perception of weakness and diminished capability in the workplace.

It's embarrassing for Senator Natasha to make sexual harassment claims that allegedly occurred over a year ago, especially since she recently broke senate rules. The timing of her allegations, which she hadn't shared with anyone (not even her husband) until now, raises questions about her motives. Moreover, she hasn't provided any concrete evidence to support her claims, and I doubt it if she has any.

She claims to be 45. If this is true, I think the age requirement for female senators should be raised to 55, because at this age, the sweetness of being a woman must have drastically diminished and they would squarely face what they were elected for.

AsgardKing:
What's your level of education? I don't have a dog in this fight but your comment is ultrasilly. Some of you, no matter the enlightenment you have, lack the capacity to learn. Otherwise, there is a global, public clarification been made but you are still unable to independently interrogate the facts.

Her petition is under investigation by tbe senate committee on Ethics and they have 4 weeks to submit a report. Her suspension and the reasons were clearly stated: her unruly conduct in the senate but people who will not earn 10 kobo from the fight for their communities block their heads from simple truths. I shake my head for una.
