I don't think Senator Natasha Apoti showed up after all.

Your long-winded defense of the Senate’s action is built on a shaky foundation — a selective understanding of due process, an inflated reverence for Senate “rules,” and a subtle attempt to mask political intimidation as institutional discipline. So let’s unpack this with clarity.

1. “The Senate voted unanimously” — So what?

Unanimity does not equal justice. History is full of unanimous decisions that were grossly unjust. When a body acts out of political interest or internal bias, the number of hands raised doesn't sanctify the action — it only reveals how deep the complicity runs. What matters is whether the procedure followed meets the standards of law, fairness, and impartiality. And in this case, it did not.

2. On Fair Hearing: What You’re Leaving Out

You argue she was given fair hearing because she was invited to the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges but didn’t appear. What you're intentionally ignoring is the toxic, predetermined environment surrounding that invitation. When the entire leadership is politically aligned against a dissenting voice, and the media is already labeling her before she appears, that’s not a fair process — it’s a trap.

Besides, fair hearing is not just about sending an invitation — it’s about providing a neutral platform, reasonable time, and assurance that the outcome is not already fixed. What she received was a setup, not a hearing.

3. “She was unruly and disruptive” — A Convenient Label

Let’s get this straight: Standing up to unjust seat reassignment is not unruly — it is called resistance. What you call “disrespectful” and “disorderly” is what the rest of us see as boldness, principle, and courage. You want senators to behave like ornaments — seen but not heard — unless they’re parroting the dominant voices in the chamber.

Calling her behavior “disruptive” is an easy way to dismiss her without addressing the real question: Why was she targeted? Why was her seat reassigned with no explanation? Why are independent voices always the first to be “disciplined”?

4. “Judiciary has no right to interfere in Senate matters” — False.

This is where your argument completely collapses. The Senate’s rules are not above the Constitution. No institution in a democracy is above judicial review — not even the National Assembly. When the Senate acts in a way that violates the rights of a member, abuses its own rules, or becomes an instrument of political suppression, the Judiciary not only has the right — it has the responsibility to step in.

That is the beauty of a democracy: Checks and balances.

5. “She must kneel to the rules” — The Rules Must Also Obey the Law

You say she must submit to the rules. Very well. But those rules must themselves align with the Constitution and the spirit of justice. You cannot use “internal rules” as a weapon to silence dissent, then hide behind them when called out.

And your final comment — about kneeling to her husband or elders — exposes the condescending and patriarchal mindset behind your entire argument. She wasn’t elected to kneel — she was elected to lead, to speak, to legislate, and to challenge dysfunction where necessary. If that threatens fragile egos, so be it.

Final Note:

Senator Natasha Akpoti is not in the Senate to play palace politics or to survive by submission. She is there to represent the people boldly, and with principle. If that ruffles the feathers of a system more concerned with obedience than justice, then so be it.

You may prefer quiet puppets in the chamber, but Kogi Central chose a lioness.

And no, she will not kneel for intimidation masquerading as order.

I have done enough explanation to address your misleading statements and misinformation. I have had enough, I am not interested in discussion with people that have their gullible minds made up on deception, deceit and lies.

Your Natasha Apoti went to court to appeal the judgement, for whatever reasons, despite her claims that the judgement was in her favor.

The Senate and Senate President also filed an appeal against the judgement.

Let's see how that pans out at the Court of Appeal.

However, you can encourage Natasha Apoti not to resume at the Senate till the case is determined at the Court of Appeal.

Let's have some sanity and tranquility in the Senate to create an enabling environment for other senators to work and not be distracted.

He is an advocate of expensive darkness across Nigeria.

Evilthoughts:
You people will always like to fight Nigeria because you fear our potential. You know no other country deserved to rule Africa like Nigeria. Nigeria is the only giant of Africa and even Julius Malema knows it and he calls you people hateful and jealous.

The potential Nigeria has been claiming for years but never materialized?

Giant of Africa in terms of population - Yes, Nigeria. But in other aspects - No, we are not giant of Africa.

Over 60 years of Independence yet Nigeria is still regarded as a country with potentials.

Evilthoughts:
You are not up to date with the lastest news. Nigeria is set to be the biggest economy in Africa by the end of 2025 when we rebase our economy. So Nigeria will be in a right place to remove these South Africans and join BRICS and G20. The big population is our advantage and the big economy. That's what we should use to rule Africa.

No one is talking about Asia here ,so why bring Singapore into this.

Let's see the debate before you start pushing that analogy. The reality is that South African economy has higher GDP than Nigeria.

South Africa is regarded as a leading economy in Africa,; ranked higher than Nigeria.

Let’s put the emotions aside and speak with intellectual clarity, because it seems you’re fixated on semantics and surface-level interpretation, rather than dealing with the core issues of abuse of power, selective enforcement, and political bias.

Yes, the Senate has disciplinary powers. That has never been in dispute. What we have rightly questioned — and will continue to question — is how those powers are applied, whether they follow due process, and whether they are exercised with fairness and without political vindictiveness.

Your rigid “Yes or No” style of interrogation might work in online banter, but in serious discourse, nuance matters. Let me break it down simply for you:

1. Yes, the Senate has powers to discipline.

2. No, that power is not absolute or beyond judicial review.

3. Yes, if that power is exercised in a way that violates the Constitution, the principles of fair hearing, or targets dissenters selectively, then the Judiciary has both the right and the duty to intervene.

So before you throw legal terms around, understand this: Internal rules of the Senate cannot override the Constitution. And disciplinary actions must meet basic standards of justice, not be used as weapons against voices that refuse to conform to a toxic political culture.

Now let’s address your claim that Senator Natasha was “disorderly, unruly, disrespectful, and disruptive.” On what grounds? For challenging the unilateral and unjust reassignment of her seat — a clear attempt to symbolically isolate and humiliate her? Since when did standing your ground become a crime in the Senate?

You ask if I understand English — I do. Very well. I also understand how these labels — “unruly,” “disruptive,” “disrespectful” — are weaponized by insecure leadership to delegitimize strong, independent voices, especially women who refuse to be silenced.

The Senate leadership didn’t discipline Natasha because she broke any serious rule — they punished her because she refused to kneel to their backdoor politics, expose, and silence. And that, to many Nigerians, is the real issue.

So while you’re busy defending institutional overreach, remember this: we elected her to speak truth to power, not to massage egos. And she is doing exactly that. You may not like it, but history will remember her far more kindly than those enabling a corrupt Senate to trample over dissent.

The entire Senate voted unanimously to discipline a colleague that infringed on the rules and regulations.

You said and I quote:
"that power is exercised in a way that violates the Constitution, the principles of fair hearing, or targets dissenters selectively, then the Judiciary has both the right and the duty to intervene."

Your Natasha Apoti was given the opportunity of fair hearing - did you forget that her case was originally referred to the Senate Committee on ethics and privileges, they request her to come to their meeting to defend herself but she refused to show up so decision was taken on the basis of evidence available to them. Of course, everyone saw her unruly, disruptive, disorderly and disrespectful behavior on that day so it was a straight forward case to decide. The committee recommended punishment for her to the Senate and Senate took the decision on the punishment unanimously. The Constitution does not give anyone the right to go into any institution and violate, disobey and disregard the rules and regulations. Judiciary has no right to moderate, dictate or determine the activities or proceedings or declarations in the senate, national Assembly at large, especially when such actions are backed and in line with the rules and regulations of the Senate.

Again, I repeat: Natasha Apoti Uduaghan's punishment is well deserved due to her unruly, disorderly, disruptive and disrespectful conduct in the Senate on that day. It will not be tolerated from her or any senator in the Senate. You can call it Weaponization or whatever, that would be your business - the rules and regulations of the Senate is law when you are within and operating in the Senate.

If Natasha Apoti must kneel down, she can go and do that to her elders at home or to her husband. No one in the Senate needs her to kneel down or submit to any other senator. However, she must submit to the rules and regulations of the Senate. It is superior to all the senators; it guides all the senators.

She was elected to represent her constituency by legislating and making laws to improve the standard of living, development and progress of her people and Nigeria at large. She was not elected to be dishonorable, disruptive, disrespectful, disorderly and combatant in the Senate. She was elected to engage diplomacy, effective communication, relationship management and necessary office etiquette to get the entire Senate to reason with her and approve her intelligent and reasonable depositions in the Senate, within the confines of the rules and regulations of the Senate.

OredoPikin:
Go and understand what resign and suspension is first

LOL!



Wike will serve out his term as minister, not minding how you feel about it.

OredoPikin:
Nobody said he should be removed from office
Step aside pending the outcome of the investigation
If he is guilty, then he will face punishment.
If innocent, he will resume his role.
The essence of him stepping aside is to allow proper investigation and avoid conflict of interest.
Yes that is what happen in sane country but u never travel out of this banana republic, you won't know
So i nor blame u

Do you even know if the presidency already investigated the office of the FCT Minister on this allegations and others?

Are you in the presidency?

In sane climes, people resign or step aside when they are guilty. If the organization or the employer have to ask the accused to step aside, to protect the organization, it will be that the matter is in court or the organization wants to conduct investigation without that person in the office.

Ultimately, it is the decision of the Executive Federal Government to ask him to step aside, resign or therwise while investigation is ongoing or concluded.

You and I can't dictate that to the federal government or minister of FCT.

CreativeOrbit:
Let’s stop pretending selective reading is the same as legal comprehension. You throw around judicial terms like “CTC” and “affirmed powers” without properly digesting the actual spirit and intent of the judgment. So let’s break this down clearly.

First, your obsession with the Senate’s “power to punish” doesn’t override the principle of fair hearing, proportionality, and context — all of which are embedded in both the Nigerian Constitution and parliamentary procedures. Power is not a license for abuse, and no judgment endorsed arbitrariness. The court only reiterated that the Senate has disciplinary powers — which no one is disputing. But how that power is exercised is subject to judicial review and public accountability.

Secondly, you claim the judgment confirmed that Senator Natasha violated Senate rules. If that’s the case, then cite the exact lines from the Certified True Copy (CTC) that spell out:

1. The precise rule she violated.

2. The proportionate justification for the disproportionate punishment meted out.
You can’t — because no such clarity exists. The judgment did not rule on the fairness or excessiveness of the punishment — it merely acknowledged the Senate’s internal regulatory authority, not its correctness in this specific case.

You claim Natasha was “disorderly and disruptive.” That’s your personal spin, not an objective truth. What she did was challenge an unfair relocation of her seat, a symbolic and calculated act of intimidation. If standing one’s ground against such political bullying makes her “unruly” in your eyes, then thank God Kogi Central didn’t elect a coward to represent them.

You also mentioned that “truth has been spoken.” Yes — and the truth is this: Senator Natasha Akpoti is being targeted for her boldness, her refusal to submit to a cabal, and her rising influence in a chamber that’s clearly uncomfortable with independent voices. You can dress it up however you like, but Nigerians are watching — and many can see through the Senate’s selective enforcement and power games.

Lastly, don’t confuse dissent with gullibility. It takes intelligence to question power, and it takes blind loyalty to justify abuse. We choose the former.

Go back to the Judgement sheet (CTC) and read carefully, then attend to my questions again:

Does the Senate have the power to punish Senator Natasha Apoti or any other senator? Yes or No?

Go back and read your depositions on this topic to me, you have been insisting that the Senate has no power to punish the senator. You opined that it was illegal.

Which judiciary will review the power of the Senate to punish senators that commits infractions against the Senate rules and regulations? The judiciary will only decide what is legal or otherwise and the judiciary already told you that it is legal for the Senate to punish senators when they commit infringements against the rules and regulations.

What do you mean about questioning the correctness especially where the rules and regulations is the law in the senate?

Natasha Apoti was disorderly, unruly, disrespectful and disruptive on that day. Don't you understand English language anymore or you can't consult Google to check the meanings of those words in bold?

Was she the only senator whose seat was reallocated? No!
Is it a new practice in the Senate to reallocate seats? No!
Is it legal for the Senate leadership to reallocate seats of senators from time to time and put the senator's names at the new seat and equip the seat for effective communication in the Senate? Yes! (If you are not sure, go and read the rules and regulations of the Senate again or check the judgement CTC document again to refresh your mind; it was addressed there as well.)

When did obeying rules and regulations of your institution or organization become bullying? If you are not comfortable with the rules and regulations and you can't respectfully, orderly and humbly communicate your discomfort to your colleagues, you should just resign as a Senator so that your constituency can elect someone else to represent them. The Senate is not designed to conform to your rules or opinion, you the senators are to conform to the rules and regulations of the Senate while there; senators will come and go while the Senate will remain in existence even in the Forseable future.

The truth is that Senator Natasha Apoti Uduaghan has constituted nuisance and turned the Senate into a comedy and Nollywood scene. What is the big deal about seating arrangements, so much that it discomforts Natasha Apoti to the extent of disrupting activities on that day, insulting the presiding officer, throwing tantrums all over like a kid and acting against the rules and regulations?

What rising influence does she have in the chamber? Natasha Apoti Uduaghan is one of the least regarded senators in the Senate - when you don't respect yourself and respect your colleagues, you will be disregarded.

Sure, Nigerians are watching Natasha Apoti Uduaghan ridicule the Senate, Senate leadership and herself. Some of us aren't enjoying the desecration of the esteemed Senate by a first time senator who has an inflated impression of herself and thinks she is above the rules and regulations of the Senate.

Lastly, it takes the power and authority of the rules and regulations, legally approved power, to discipline senators who commit infringements in the Senate without caring to apologize and make efforts to conform with the order, rules and regulations of the Senate.

OredoPikin:
Yes
Thats what sane country do
To avoid conflict of interest

Your opinion sounds like a joke. Doesn't it sound funny to you?

What makes you think the president can't investigate a minister while the minister is in office?

You and your allies accused a minister of selling land to his son and reducing the bill from ₦200M to ₦2M.

The next thing you want is for the minister of FCT to step down or be removed from office based on your allegations, for investigation to be done.

You call that the practice is sane environment: please inform us which environment does that? Even in the court or of law, an accusation remains an allegation until proven beyond reasonable doubt in a competent court of competent jurisdiction.

Is the ministry of FCT going to conduct the investigation or it will be the presidency ( Executive Government of Nigeria)?

However, we have witnessed regression rather than economic development and depletion of standard of loving of the majority of people.

OredoPikin:

U can't claim to love Nigeria and defend this heavy accusations.
This is not patriotism

Does Wike have to step down to be investigated by the Executive Government of Nigeria?

CreativeOrbit:
Your long emotional rant is a perfect example of how truth threatens the powerful. Senator Natasha Akpoti is not in the Senate to massage egos or conform to a toxic culture of silence. She was elected to speak boldly — and that’s exactly what she’s done.

The real embarrassment isn’t Natasha; it’s a Senate that suspends members illegally and fears strong, independent voices, especially women. The Federal High Court ruled her suspension unconstitutional. She is not above Senate rules, but neither is the Senate above the Constitution.

The desperate attacks on her character only prove how deeply her refusal to bow to intimidation unsettles your political idols. If it takes boldness, resilience, and fearless truth-telling to clean out the rot in the system, then Natasha is exactly where she belongs.

She represents the future — and no amount of propaganda can erase a lawful mandate or an unstoppable voice.

When Senator Natasha Apoti wants to speak boldly, she has to speak boldly with reason and respect for constituted authorities. She has to speak boldly from her allocated seat equipped with microphones and other communication gadgets to amplify her bold voice. She has to speak boldly upholding the rules and regulations of the Senate. We are not all lawless and disorderly, in fact she doesn't have to be disorderly, unruly and disruptive for Senator Natasha's voice to be heard.

Again and I emphasize, the power of the Senate to punish, including suspend, any member or senator that violates or goes contrary to the rules and regulations of the Senate was confirmed, affirmed and stated in the judgment - see the certified true copy of the Judgement as printed, signed and released by the court.

The Constitution guarantees every Nigerian free movement within Nigeria but definitely not into the territory or household or estate of another person. That is a typical example to explain what you and senator Natasha Apoti want to push. Senator Natasha Apoti has right and freedom to speak, as enshrined in the Constitution of the FRN but when she is in the Senate as a senator, staff or visitor, she must comply with the rules and regulations of the Senate in her effort to speak or perform her duties otherwise she or any senator will be called to order or punished.

No one is intimidating her, it takes boldness, resilience, and fearless truth-telling to obey simple rules and regulations - you can tell that to Natasha Apoti.

Mind you, she may represent your future, she does not represent the totality or majority of our future. She is a bad example to true feminism and what a woman stands for. Tell her to ask Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Amina Mohammed, Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi and other respectable women about being exemplary women that the future generations of women can emulate especially with respect to relationship management, diplomacy and communication in government institutions. Some of these women are still alive so she can enrol to learn from them.

Disruptive, disorderly, unruly, abusive, misinformation, malicious and dishonesty are not attributes of we want to imbibe in our future generations. No! Natasha Apoti Uduaghan does not represent our future. Speak for yourself only.

CreativeOrbit:
The illegality is not a matter of opinion — it’s a matter of judicial fact. The Federal High Court ruled that Senator Natasha Akpoti's suspension was unconstitutional, unlawful, and a violation of her fundamental rights as an elected representative. That ruling alone exposes the Senate leadership’s actions under Akpabio as an abuse of legislative power.

What’s truly misleading is how you and others twist facts to defend political intimidation. The Senate is not a military barracks where members are punished for asking questions. It is a democratic institution — yet under this current leadership, it punishes dissent, suppresses bold voices, and selectively enforces rules.

If you claim to be "eagle-eyed," then stop overlooking the truth: Natasha stood her ground because she was elected to serve the people, not to please power-hungry figures who think the red chamber is their personal empire.

What do you understand as fact?

With respect to your statement that I made bold: can you quote from the judgement CTC copy to emphasize your statement?

The same court judgement affirmed the powers of the Senate as enshrined in the Rules and Regulations of the Senate, to punish senators who go contrary to the rules.

The same court judgement affirmed that Senator Natasha Apoti violated the rule and regulations on that said date on her change of seat matter and the judgement affirmed that she went contrary to the rules and regulations.

The powers of the Senate has been wielded against a disorderly, disruptive and unruly senator. You can interpret it to be whatever you wish: "punishes dissent, suppresses bold voices, and selectively enforces rules."

The truth has been spoken and pointed to you several times but you have chosen to believe the lies. We are not as gullible as you are.

CreativeOrbit:
Thank you for the reminder, but what you’ve described is exactly the problem — a politically weaponized suspension wrapped in emotional language, not rooted in due process or constitutional authority.

Senator Natasha Akpoti was suspended by a Senate leadership that acted as judge, jury, and executioner in a matter where emotions and power play overshadowed legal procedure. Her so-called 'unruly behavior' was nothing more than firm dissent — which is a core function of any lawmaker in a healthy democracy. The Senate is not a monarch’s court where members must grovel before leadership to be heard.

The key issue here isn’t whether the Senate issued an apology ultimatum — it’s whether that ultimatum was legal. The Federal High Court has already answered that question: the suspension was unconstitutional, unlawful, and violated her rights as an elected representative of the people. No amount of emotional retelling changes that legal reality.

Now, let’s be honest: this wasn’t about decorum — it was about control. Under Akpabio’s leadership, the Senate has demonstrated increasing intolerance for independent voices. Senator Natasha’s boldness exposed a Senate more concerned with silencing critics than upholding the rule of law. If the chamber were truly concerned with ethics and standards, it would apply the same measure to others — including those involved in public scandals, budget padding, and executive appeasement.

She has approached the court, won her case, and asked to be reinstated — that’s how a public servant upholds the law. The real shame would be if Nigerians allow power-drunk leadership to override the courts and trample on democratic principles in the name of 'discipline.'

So let’s stop repeating political talking points and start asking the real question: Why is the Senate under Akpabio afraid of reinstating a woman who simply refuses to bow to illegality?

What is the illegality? Can you tell us how the Senate has acted illegally?

The misleading and misinformation you, Natasha Apoti and her associates have been spreading can't fool everyone.

I am one of the eagle eyed ones that sees through her schemes and shenanigans.

CreativeOrbit:
Your comment perfectly reflects the mindset of those who mistake public institutions for personal property. Let’s be clear: the Nigerian Senate is not a private club owned by Akpabio or any political godfather. It belongs to the people — and Natasha Akpoti was duly elected by her constituents and affirmed by INEC and the courts.

She doesn’t need to 'get mind' — she already has what your preferred leadership fears: a legal mandate and the courage to stand firm against institutional abuse. The court has ruled her suspension unlawful, and she has every right to resume her constitutional duties — not from her husband’s house as your condescending tone suggests, but from the floor of the Senate chamber where she was elected to serve.

If there’s anyone who should be worried, it’s those who think the red chamber is a place to suppress dissent and silence bold voices — because that era is fast fading. You may be comfortable with illegality and selective justice, but we’re not. The law is on her side — and no amount of threats, mockery, or intimidation will erase that fact.

Yes, the Senate belongs to the people, senators are elected by people of various constituencies to represent them in the Senate. However, those senators are expected to represent the people in the legislation business for the growth and development of the various people, they are expected to be sane, honourable, honest and matured. They are expected to focus on the legislation job rather than trivial issues and social media drama.

Your senator Natasha Apoti seems to be psychologically challenged already.
She is obviously dishonorable especially because she is so rude and dismissive of her colleagues and disrespectful to the Senate as an institution.
She embarrassed the Senate at the IPU of the UN with misinformation, callous, mischievous and despicable allegations.
Senator Natasha Apoti is a serial liar, the evidences are all over the social media. She is very immature as a person, she is always throwing tantrums like a child, on social media, in the plenary and all over. She is chaotic, unruly and disruptive.

Please note that the Senate has rules and regulations that guides the activities and conduct of every member in the Senate especially during plenary and if a senator violates or goes contrary to the rules and regulations, there must and will be punishment. If you can't respect the rules and regulations of your community or association, then you should not be there, you might as well take a leave.

Besides, which of the leaders in Nigeria is afraid of Natasha Apoti? I can't see any. They have all seen through her charades and shenanigans. She lacks the carriage and charisma of a true leader. She lacks decency and she is dishonorable.

She will resume her constitutional duties when she obeys simple instruction as expected from every other members of the Senate. They unanimously and collectively requested her to apologize for her disruptive, unruly, disorderly and disrespectful behavior in the Senate on that day. If she can't simply and respectfully apologize to the Senate and her colleagues, then she will be further punished and sink into oblivion. The Senate is an esteemed institution that has been existing before her and will exist in the forseable future, it is going concern that will outlive Senator Natasha Apoti. The Senate has rules and regulations that will not be bent for her or any other senator that will be so disruptive, disrespectful, unruly and exhibit such misconduct.

The Senate is not a place to silent dissenting views or bold voices. It is a place that accommodates bold voices of reason, sound minds on th core business of legislation and dissenting views with conscience and national interest purpose.

What national interest does Natasha Apoti's lies, disruption, disorderly, misinformation, cantankerous and disrespectful conduct serve?

What is the reason for a foul mouthed lady to voice out opposition against change of seat, that is a normal exercise in the Senate, to the extent that she would insult the presiding officers, disrupt the activities in the Senate, become unruly and then come up with mischievous, unproven and damning sexual harassment allegations like she did with Reno Omokri and others in past, just to get at them.

We know your Senator Natasha Apoti's stock in trade already; her tactics have been made already.

The law is on the side of the Senate, in other words the collective people of Nigeria, not on the side of Senator Natasha Apoti.
She is a liar, malicious and damaged character. We have had enough of her drama and tantrums. The Senate is not for activism and disruptors. The Senate is for diplomatic, developmental and team workers who find a way to get their colleagues to understand, accept and propagate agendas inspired by them to the benefit of their various constituencies. If you lack such skills and you are unwilling to learn, you should not be in the Senate.

Please advice senator Natasha Apoti that if she needs a career in Nollywood, it is not too late. It seems to be the suitable industry for her.

Naso una go drag am till six months reach wey she go then resume then the case will become an academic exercise. 3 months don pass already.

You may have to go and watch the video of the Senate session when she was suspended again. Let me remind you:

She was placed on six months suspension without pay and ordered to apologize formally to the Senate for her unruly, disrespectful, disruptive and shameful behavior in the Senate on that day. Other wise, upon expiration of six months, the Senate will decide to extend her suspension provided she didn't do the apology.

peleson1:
She will continue her constitutional duties in the Senate till the court decide. The Senate is not akpabio own

She will continue in her Senate at her husband's house or in her constituency, not the Senate of the FRN.

If she get mind, tell her to attempt to resume at the Senate of the FRN.

Produce the court order and the wording. Perhaps it's different from the one we read. Read 11 and 12 and make your English teacher proud of you.
BTW, she has till tomorrow to tender her public apology as ordered by the court. No. 2

We are waiting to see her court ordered public apology.

However, she will still have to tender an apology to the esteemed Senate of the FRN before her suspension can be lifted. If she doesn't, she should continue in suspension.

Period.

aylipple:
Shebi Senate has appealed the Court's decision just as Senator Natasha also appealed some parts of the Court's decision that didn't sit well with her.

They (Senate and Senator Natasha) should both await the outcomes of their appeals.

C'est fini.

You are just so much on point. The drama is so frustrating and annoying.

TheJustPath:
Your comment completely misses the point. Senator Natasha Akpoti isn’t being “stubborn” — she’s standing on principle. Apologizing for exposing institutional wrongdoing would be nothing short of cowardice. She was elected to represent the people, not to bow to political intimidation or rubber-stamp hypocrisy.

Calling her “incorrigible” because she refuses to play along with a flawed system only proves how uncomfortable some people are with strong, independent women in power. If defending truth and integrity means facing unjust suspension, then so be it. She’s setting a precedent that leadership isn’t about submission — it’s about courage.

Stop the misinformation:

Tell us why the Senate asked Natasha Apoti to apologize?

Tell us why the Court asked her to apologize on her Facebook page and two reputable Print media outfits?

Do you even know? You just come on this platform and spew trash.

Atiku is a shameless and desperate human being. I am trusting that he will never govern Nigeria as the President of FRN.

He has decamped from the PDP twice now.
He has been in ACN
He is now in ADC again.

After ruining the PDP and pursing his selfish ambition against every other person's and party interest. He realized almost everyone moved away from the party leaving to do as he wishes.

Now he has decamped to ADC. That selfish desire will still ruin the ADC too.

SenatorCharles1:
The COA and the SC will align with the ruling of the FHC.

I'm willing to place a million Naira on this.

You are not a judge or court so your opinion has no effect.

Even if they align with the judgement, there is no court order that compels the Senate to lift the suspension. The judgement even indicated that the power to lift the suspension is solely vested in the Senate.

SenatorCharles1:
As long as that statement however put forms part of the ruling of the court, its the judgement of the court. A judge is more informed and learned enough not to include frivolous remarks as part of her ruling.

Okay, no problem.

The judgement has now been appealed. Let's wait till the outcome.

swimmer:
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?

How can you or any court invalidate the rules and regulations of the Senate or house of assembly?

Go and read that judgement again to refresh your mind.

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

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.

SenatorCharles1:
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.

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