The Senate has replied Mr. Michael Numa, the lawyer to the Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, over the letter he (Numa) wrote to the Clerk of the Senate in respect of the judgement of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

Her eyes go clear

When did the FHC become an advisory body? This letter is mischievous. The court declared the suspension excessive and a violation of her right. What othe language do they want the court to speak?

Modified
Yes, the court lacks the jurisdiction to question the Senate rule or legislative business for which the court absolutely did not interfere but as touching fundamental rights of a citizen, the constitution takes preeminence over any Senate rule and her lordship wasted no time in stating the obvious in clear terms.

It's a very simple judgement that shouldn't pose any difficulty interpreting.

Suspending a senator for six months is over reaching and a violation of her fundamental right and that of her constituents. Senate rule or no Senate rule, the suspension is null and void and a violation of section 63 of the constitution period!!!

It's called separation of powers

The judiciary can not interfere into the affairs of the National Assembly

The judiciary interprets the law and where any arm overreaches the law, it's the duty of the court to so declare. The NASS is not above the law

It's called check and balance

Natasha went to court to challenge her suspension .

The judge refused to entertain the matter as it contravenes the separation of powers.

The judge only advised that Natasha be recalled so she can represent her constituency .

The Court do not advice they declare.

The letter already admits there was a declarative judgment

The court could have dismissed or struck out the matter if it didn't want to entertain it. That the court entered judgement means, the matter was concluded.

Sen. Natasha's lawyer should file a contempt proceedings against the leadership of the Senate.

The court refused to entertain her suit and only asked to know if due process was followed .


The Judge only made her personal advise as part of her final ruling to dismiss the suit .

Stop embarrassing yourself

DomPerignon:
Stop embarrassing yourself

It's not by quoting newspaper headlines, journalist can write based on their opinions

Whatever rule that is at variance with the constitution is a nullity to the extent to which it violates the relevant sections of the constitution.

If a journalist covering plenary is shot by a senator or s Nate president in the chamber's, it is separation of power too. All of una no get sense. You need to go read government SS1 textbook to understand the arms of government and their duties

Am I the only one tired of reading this Apkoti's story.
What da hell is it with her and her case!

DomPerignon:

They can. The legislature is governed by laws that can be interpreted by the judiciary

Now the battle begins. This is the real show of power. Court judgement versus national Assembly rules and ethics.

I totally support another round of six months of suspension for Natasha.

Let the Ibira people conduct another election and bring another candidate as Senator.

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is an example of bad parentage and lack of home training now magnified on a national scale.

What does she think she is sef ?

No apology, No resumption.

back and forth between the judiciary and Senate on Apoti matter get as e be oo

The court or judiciary holds the final say not the executive or legislative.

If the Senate have any problem with the ruling let them appeal.

The worst of the matter is the case could end up at the supreme Court who will finally decide what happens.

Why is akpabia restless, she should let this woman be.

I so much love this reply..

Wait for the Senate to exercise its powers..

Moreso, there is another trend, Senate is appealing the judgement in its entirety....so, that we will know if the Court have jurisdiction over happenings at the floor of the house.

Its clear that Natsha is good at raising dust over every little thing without careful study or understanding of the repercussions of her actions.

But I believe that due to her ignorance and uncouth behavior, she will likely not be recalled. And I will support whatever actions the senate takes against her.


Also, let her supporters not make her case worse although she was right about them....they're hungry and gullible to speak less.

This Akpabio is too shameless for my liking. Are you a woman? Are you tired of the fight?

I hope you know that there is a difference between a declaration and an order! For your information, the Judiciary and Legislature are two of the three parallel arms of the government. And as such, the court lacks the power to give an order to the legislative arm of the government.

The lawyers in the house should correct me if I'm wrong.

So, now you expect that the court would summon the Senate to appear before it, right?

Oga, go back to school 😂😂😂

The court wasn't declarative in its ruling. Matter of fact, it made the matter more befuddled by being between and betwixt; neither here or there.

The court was tactically aloof and ruling had no bite.

At the end , Natasha will never be recalled to the Senate . Her arrogance will be her undoing...she will fight long and hard against the forces of the Senate ..it is only wise that she apologizes or quit the chamber for good...

Do you still want to be ignorant? Judges can make statements in court that are advisory not judgement.

That High Court judgement interpreted the laws, Constitution and Rules & Regulations of the Senate.

That judgement affirmed that the Senate has the right to punish senator by suspension.

Not true.

They said the Senate over reached their powers and their attempt to use those powers contradicted the Constitution.

Meaning their bye laws were invalid. Why then is akpabio appealing the judgement?
