The lawmaker representing Bayelsa West Senatorial District, Seriake Dickson, has thrown his weight behind the return of his colleague from Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, to the Senate.

Natasha was suspended on March 6 after a heated argument with Senate leadership over a new seating arrangement, which she claimed was intentionally designed to undermine her.

It will also be recalled that hat the issue degenerated when she appeared on national television and accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of retaliating against her for allegedly rejecting his sexual advances, an allegation Akpabio has denied.

Let distinguished Hon. Natasha return now. Akpabio and his cohorts must obey the Court judgement.
Stop truncating Democracy.

The terms for his return clearly stated that she must submit a letter of apology, yet she has failed to do so. Furthermore, the court mandated that she apologize, but she is outright refusing to comply with the orders.

That Akpabio remains the worst Senate President in the history of Nigeria legislative system.

Learn to judge issues by merit. Akpabio and the Senate are right in suspending that unruly girl.

Leep:
Let distinguished Hon. Natasha return now. Akpabio and his cohorts must obey the Court judgement.

She was told to apologize, she don't want to.

The judgement mandate her to apologise to the court, not to Akpabio or the senate....

I remember Fashola once scolded a senator that he needed to put his temperament in check over a public discourse.

We run an ethno-democratic government, and this has hampered and undermined our development but for some strange reasons the younger generation are courting with this archaic display of high-handedness.

Nancy Pelosi went head to head with Trump, no suspension, Sanders spoke against him no suspension.

In Germany, Left Party MP Cansin Köktürk was thrown out of a German parliament plenary chamber on Wednesday for wearing a t-shirt with the word "Palestine" printed on it, a move deemed a political statement by the parliamentary leadership. No suspension.

Akpabio has the right to sue for defamation/character assassination on a personal level but I’m yet to see how the senator violated the Nigerian constitution which has denied her constituency representation.

We should be careful the kind of monsters we feed. A megalomaniac president suspending Fubara and a narcissist-loquacious senate president.
