Natasha To Meet Legal Team, Seek Court Clarification After Senate Blockade by aminauiade(op): 3:03pm On Jul 22, 2025

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Tuesday vowed to meet with her legal team to initiate steps at the appellate court following her denial of access to the National Assembly on Tuesday, despite a valid court order directing her reinstatement.

The senator, who was suspended for six months by the Senate earlier this year, had vowed to resume legislative duties after a ruling by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court quashed her suspension. But upon arrival at the National Assembly complex, she was barred by security personnel.

Speaking to journalists after the incident, Akpoti-Uduaghan expressed outrage at what she described as contempt of court by the Senate under President Godswill Akpabio.

Akpabio cannot be greater than the Nigerian Constitution. I want Nigerians to know that the Office of the Senate President doesn’t give me legitimacy as a senator. The fact that he has done an appeal does not invalidate the decision of Justice Binta Nyako, and that does not stop me from being a senator. I got my legitimacy as a senator from the people of Kogi who voted me into office as senator,” she said.

She continued, “That I’ve been denied entrance to the National Assembly is a statement being made. It’s on record that the National Assembly under Akpabio has decided to be in contempt of a court decision, and it’s quite ironic that they are lawmakers. That poses the question: how far is our democracy in this day and age?”

Akpoti-Uduaghan also questioned the basis of her initial suspension, stating, “Even the suspension ab initio was fraudulent—the document was faulty.”

On her next line of action, she said, “Going forward, I will have a meeting with my legal team so they proceed to the appellate court to seek interpretation into what just happened. I’m a law-abiding citizen.”

As of the time of filing this report, the Senate leadership had not issued any statement on the court ruling or Tuesday’s development.

That's what she should have done first.

Even the Court order she claimed to follow asked her to apologize in National daily, didn't she understand that as well.

Some people are just trouble makers.

you are right. The court order her to resume but with conditions. The question is, has she met the conditions which is a no. People are just too sentimental. Many people are insulting Akpabio, I speak same language with her, according to history, our forefathers were together before some came down to our present town and while others settled in their current place were she is from. We have similar culture. Before been a senator, she used her connection to fix some failed portion of federal road in my LGA. Yes, she is among the best senators even since 1999 but her character is not good. Aisha yesuf an estako woman from our state, Edo, is just milking the woman with her English. Another lady from edo, mama pee has join the party. Ezekwesili is still not certify with what she has eaten as education minister under Obasanjo.

What she should have done after the court judgement, but her stubbornness and wrong public sentiment is urging her on. As an adult, shouldn't she have know better? In the final analysis, she will be disgraced.

Typical of Nigerians. Last last the Senate will make her to tender apologize to them. Meanwhile the conditions the court gave her was to apologize to the court through her Facebook and two other newspapers but the Senate will now add their own. Akpabio may not be a good man but in this particular case, he is not wrong. Senator Natasha couldn't even tender any prove but the court just want to end the embarrassment coming from the Senate that has gone international. Let her obey the conditions. The Senate spokeman said it since last month but due to her stubbornness, she don't want to apologize.
