Chairman, Senate Committee on Interior, Adams Oshiomhole, APC, Edo North has recanted saying no Senator complained to him that his or her signature was forged during the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, PDP, Kogi Central.

He maintained that he never alleged that signatures were forged during the process.

Oshiomole had been quoted as saying in one of the interviews that some senators, including Senator Ireti Kingibe, informed him that they did not sign the committee report even though their names appeared on the document.

“If he said that, yes. Because there are even people who claimed that their signatures were forged under the suspension document, people like Senator Ireti Kingibe.

She told me, ‘But I didn’t sign that report. But my name was published,’” Oshiomhole said.

“To set the records straight, I wish to make the following clarifications.

‘The insinuation that I said signatures of Senators were forged is a complete misrepresentation of what I actually said.
“I agree absolutely with the spokesperson of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Yemi Adaramodu, that no signature of Senators was forged in Natasha Akpoti’s suspension.
“This is because, no Senator complained to me that his or her signature was forged. “The only comment I made is that one Senator, who is a member of the Committee claimed that the signatures of attendance of some Senators were attached to the final report.

“Any suggestion to the effect that I alleged that any Senator’s signature was forged is completely untrue and should be disregarded.

“As far as I am concerned, the issue of suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has been put to rest and the Senate has since moved on.

“The context in which I made a comment on the Senator Natasha Akpoti’s issue was the AIT interviewer’s claim that Senate Leader Distinguished Senator Bamidele Opeyemi referred to the matter as the ‘lowest point of the 3 years of the 10th Senate’ to which I replied that ‘if indeed the Senate Leader said so, yes it should be taken seriously, because he is not given to frivolities.’

“Once again, I emphasise that no Senator told me that his or her signature was forged.

“Finally, I regret if my comments may have caused embarrassment to any Senator or the 10th Senate as an institution.”

From day 1, I maintained that Natasha lied but a lot of us are gullible.

Now Oshiomhole is just blabbing anyhow....

Gullibility has been our major problem when we discuss issues like this. Our leaders know this and always exploiting us. Sen. Oshomele is just looking for attention with his unguarded utterances

Jokes on you. Oshiomole has folded like we all guessed he would to avoid suspension but Ireti was on air yesterday affirming that she never signed the document that recommended Natasha's suspension and only signed an attendance register.

Looks like a spell is been cast on these guys over n over again, if not wat is all these show of shame

Who are they fooling? Oshiomole don obey im master whistle like the coward he is.

We sabi the game.

All osho- ole said has be substantiated to be true. Kigebe on arise tv said she did not append her signature to the suspension of Natasha.

What we have is a criminal offense and if the Senate has any integrity left they should call for forensic analysis of all the signatories to the suspension of Natasha.

Akpabio is a criminal until proven otherwise.

Oshiomhole Must Choose: Senate Elder or Aluta Commentator by CharlesCNG

Adams Oshiomhole’s clarification on the Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan suspension controversy is necessary, but it also raises a serious question about judgment.

According to reports, Oshiomhole initially suggested that some senators’ signatures were improperly attached to the suspension report, including Senator Ireti Kingibe. The Senate pushed back, insisting no signature was forged. Oshiomhole has now clarified that no senator complained to him that his or her signature was forged, and he regrets any embarrassment caused to the Senate.

That is not a small correction. In a sensitive institutional matter, words matter.

Oshiomhole is not a street agitator anymore. He is a senator, a former governor, a former party chairman, and chairman of a Senate committee. At that level, careless public commentary can damage institutions, colleagues and his own credibility.

His recent style increasingly looks like old aluta reflexes struggling to adjust to legislative responsibility.

There is nothing wrong with courage. There is everything wrong with undisciplined speech.

If Oshiomhole wants to be taken seriously as a Senate leader, he must stop sounding like a man still addressing a protest ground.

Leadership requires restraint.

The Senate is not a labour rally.

And institutional authority is not built by making claims today and walking them back tomorrow.

Fear of the Natasha treatment, my guy quickly recant. I been think say him no dey fear. It therefore means his allegation about Akpabio influencing his child’s employment at NNPC should be taken with a pinch of salt

Whether Osho pikin recants or not is immaterial. He is on record for what he said. His statement is on air.

The imminent war brewing between him and Akpawaist is surely going to snowball into a fisticuff before long.

But Akpawaist would be the greatest eedioot to tow that part because of near vegetative state.

Oshiomole obviously hates Akpawaists guts and high-handedness.
