They decieve urself. We all know it is a political fang up that failed.

when will akpabio step down to defend himself againt allegations of sexual harassment?

You mean the fake, malicious, fraudulent and mischievous allegations of sexual harassment against the Senate President.

hotseat:
Without being unnecessarily emotional and sentimental, the question people should be asking is whether she has fulfilled all the conditions to merit her "storming" the red chamber come Tuesday.

Again, did the court categorically state in its judgement that she must immediately return to the Senate?


This is why the Senate is demanding for the CTC of the judgement in order to determine the next step to take.


After all, the Senate has the right to file an appeal against the judgement.


Whatever be the case, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan may end up prolonging and even extending her suspension if she continues to act in a manner that suggests recalcitrance.


Bulldozing her way into the hallowed chamber without dotting the i's and crossing the t's concerning her suspension may amount to an invasion and a continued act of insurbordination.


Tomorrow no far again.


Let's wait and see.



@hotseat

Do you know that if Natasha Apoti Uduaghan writes, on her official letterhead paper, to the Senate and apologizes to the entire Senate and the Senate President for her disruptive, unruly and disorderly behavior in the Senate on that day she was asked to move to her new seat

The next two Senate sessions will review the suspension and most likely recall her to resume.

If I am Natasha, when I am asked to resume, I will still request to address the Senate and personally tender an apology in person to the Senate.

She only needs to show remorse and be apologetic. She has to engage her colleagues diplomatically and be focuses on her job and not side attractions.

jaxxy:
The Nigerian senate depriving her constituency of due representation is highly undemocratic

It is not about her constituency. It is about her disruptive, disrespectful, disorderly, combatant and unruly behavior.

It was a difficult decision decision for the Senate but they have a responsibility to uphold the sanctity and esteem of the Senate. She has to be punished to serve as deterrent for others who may wish to toe that line in future.

The Senate is not a place for kids and people who throw tantrums all over and get petty over seat matters and make false allegations to assassinate other people's character.

favour32:
Why Senate is taking this matter personal?
Why deny her constituency the right to sit?


Senate!


Una be human beings.


Una no go dey there for ever o.
Nobody wey no go kpeme.

Senate will take it beyond personal.

When a member disobey the rules and regulations of the Senate that is binding on all of them.
She disrespects, insults and throw tantrums at other senators including the Senate President. Acts disruptive and disorderly even during sessions in the Senate.
She went to the UN to embarrass the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with lies, misrepresentation and misleading information.

You still want and expect the Senate to take it lightly?

badoh:
If she fails to carry out what the court demanded her to do and she creates another scene at the entrance of the Senate building, the Senate might slam her with additional 3 months suspension. You can't continue to defy court order and expect justice, do your own part and leave the rest for the Senate to do.

My dear friend

Natasha Apoti should not defy court order.

She must also respect constituted authority in the Senate.

She was not only ordered to tender an apology to the FCT High Court on 2 daily newspapers and on her Facebook page. She was also ordered abinitio to apologize officially to the Senate for her unruly, disrespectful, disruptive and disorderly behavior in the Senate just because her seat was changed.

magoo10:
Why is the Akpabio led senate feeling so big to obey court orders.
Asking her to render apology is like saying she is guilty and wrongly made allegations against the Senate president.

Untill it has been proven that her allegations are false there will be no need talking about senator Natasha apologizing .let her resume and start representing her people.
If the Senate president thinks the events of the day will cut down his Ego he should kindly do the honourable thing of resigning or be ready to learn from his mistakes.

Why are you trying to misinform us or misrepresenting the case.

Why was she suspended? Was it because she accused Godswill Apabio or she was unruly, disruptive and disrespectful in the Senate chamber on that day she was requested to move to her seat?

Most of her followers, and Senator Natasha Apoti herself, exhibit this same ineptitude and ignorance that you are currently exhibiting. Sometimes I assume you guys just deliberately try to twist the case and misinform and mislead the public to suit your narratives. Is that not fraudulent and criminal misrepresentation?

AdeptStudent:
The senate should pardon this woman. They should obey the court’s order.

You only pardon people that recognize their offense (s) and take responsibility for their actions, show remorse and willing to amend the situation.

She has not been apologetic, remorseful or orderly. She has not even taken responsibility and admitted her offense in the Senate.

You are asking the Senate to obey court order. The court didn't terminate the 6months suspension, go and read the judgement again.

The only power that can terminate the 6months suspension is the Senate, that is period and certain.

For me,

It is either a display of humility or pretence or inferiority complex.

It is not a big deal especially if it is a display of humility. It is worrisome if it is a display of inferiority complex. It is unsurprising if he is pretending.

Omooba77:
https://saharareporters.com/2025/07/06/83-nigerians-have-little-or-no-trust-tinubu-govt-says-new-survey

The lack of trust in government is not only applicable to Tinubu's government.

It is the average Nigerian persons disposition to all governments in Nigeria, including the past, present and ones in the foreseeable future.

Olumaeme:
Lol, now I catch you.

The judgement has not been released yet.

The judges gave a brief of the judgement in court but the full judgement is not out until this week.

Lmao.

Really!

Stop being confused and uninformed. It is okay if you don't know much about legal proceedings, just ask about what you don't understand so it can be explained to you.

The judgement is out already.

The judge must have read the judgement out to everyone listening in the court on that day.

Upon the final judgement, both parties lawyers can request for the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgement, by applying to court to print and issue the CTC copy to them, for them to study and understand the extent of the judgement and determine if an appeal is needed or accept the judgement.

The unsatisfied party has 3 months to appeal the judgement after which the judgement becomes binding on both parties.

Point of information: the judgement is pronounced and out already. It is the CTC that the parties involved can apply for subsequently.

However, from that brief that you probably read, what did you deduce?

Or would you want to laugh at your own ignorance and ineptitude now?

Ekaka14:
That woman is wiser than you think.....she's a lawyer, got her seat back through the courts and you think she'd act the manner you described her?

Let's wait and see how she acts on this.

She has been acting unintelligent for some time.

Her challenges could have been solved by being humble, apologetic, diplomatic and cooperative with her colleagues.

She chose to be unruly, disrespectful, disruptive, combatant and toxic with her colleagues and in such an esteemed environment of the Senate.

It is disappointing to watch her exhibit poor level of emotional intelligence which could derail her career in politics.

jackals:
Our relationship just ticked the 1yrs 3months mark. I told him at the beginning that I’d love for him to propose to me b4 we start getting intimate as most relationships built on intimacy don’t last. He agreed. But as we get along, we eventually started having sex even tho it’s not how I pictured it. But I had to because I didn’t want him to leave.

At the start of this year, I made a resolution to stop giving in to sex and see how much affections he has for me looking at the fact that he’s not even asked me to be his wife. It’s always promise here and there.

If he initiated it, I always find an excuse..and most times he convinced me and I’ll give in. I won’t lie I know it’s hard because he’s had to initiate a couple of time which I denied and he’ll mostly beg and assure me of his commitment to our relationship.

However, I noticed since the beginning of the month of May, he’s stopped showing concerns. When he asked And I said no to sex, he will just say “ohh okay” and then sleep if it’s night time or pick his phone and off to gym. Nowadays he doesn’t even initiate anything nor ask for it. I asked him if he’s okay and he told me “he’s having some heavy back pain due to his recent workout routines” but I know he’s lying. He’s always like sex even after workout.

My intuition says he’s cheating and my friend confirmed same since her last relationship also ended the same way.

Tbh, I’d just stop getting worried about this and stop asking him since he’s decided to keep mute.

Tricky one there.

Let me ask: Are you Cohabitating? Are you guys engaged (I mean: has there been a proper introduction involving your families?)

However, I think he must have concluded that you have decided to start denying him sex so he is probably getting it somewhere else so he doesn't have to bother you. You have told us that he has always been the one initiating it.

Even if he gets it elsewhere, it may not mean that he no longer loves you but you need to discuss how he is able to coop with no sex with you, this will help you establish a conversation in that aspect and maybe he will open up to you.

You also need to subtly and consciously push for marriage proper so you guys don't get carried away from the goal, except you are not looking to marry him.

If he eventually bolts away and ends the relationship, please move on sister and learn your lessons. There will be other men out there who you could get as your husband.

KingOfPeaceJoy:
You don't read or you read but you can not comprehend, obviously.


Now read this and try to comprehend:

"
The Federal High Court in Abuja has delivered a verdict on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's suspension from the Senate. Here's a breakdown of the court's decision ¹ ² ³:
- *Reinstatement*: The court has ordered the Senate to reinstate Senator Natasha, ruling that her six-month suspension was excessive and unconstitutional. The suspension was initially imposed due to her alleged misconduct during a Senate plenary session.
- *Contempt of Court*: However, the court also found Senator Natasha guilty of contempt for violating a gag order by publishing a satirical apology to Senate President Godswill Akpabio on her Facebook page. As a result, she has been ordered to:
- *Pay a fine*: Senator Natasha must pay a fine of N5 million.
- *Publish an apology*: She must publish an apology in two national dailies and on her Facebook page within seven days.
- *Ruling on Senate's Power*: The court emphasized that while the Senate has the power to punish its members, such sanctions must not be excessive and must not deprive constituents of their right to representation.
- *Next Steps*: Senator Natasha has vowed to return to the Senate, stating she will resume her legislative duties following the court's order ⁴.
"

Man wey dey read and comprehend, please can you tell us your source: what document are you quoting?

I mean where did you get this extracts?

Great100000:
Source: https://punchng.com/seven-coalition-leaders-interested-in-tinubus-seat-ex-adc-chair/

"Aside from Obi, he said supporters of Atiku, former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, ex-Kaduna and Osun states governors, Nasir El-Rufai, Rauf Aregbesola, and those of the Oyo State 2023 ADC governorship candidate, Bamidele Ajadi, were all rooting for their respective leaders to succeed Tinubu"

All these people that you mentioned are paper weight. They can't stop Tinubu, honestly.

Olumaeme:
Did you read the judgement? What did the court say?

I asked you to read it, it is available on the internet and you have the data to do WhatsApp, Facebook and other things on internet but you don't create the time to educate yourself before misleading and misinforming other people on internet.

If you want to remain illiterate about some matters, that is up to you but to come on public platform to argue about something you lack information about is ridiculous and despicable, to say the least.

If you are expecting me to copy and paste it here for you, you are wasting your time.

Olumaeme:
OK, senate lawyer. But they have not appealed yet. If they do, they will loose again.

It's established already, you cannot suspend a legislature for more than 14 days, the court has declared severally.

Dino VS house of Reps
Omo Agege VS senate
Ali Ndume VS Senate

Etc.

She's resuming already, the issue of terminating suspension is out of the way. Find something meaningful to say

This statement of yours that I highlighted - is that what the judge said?

Did you even read the judgement of the court as pronounced by the judge? Obviously you didn't.

We shall wait to see her resume this week. She can try but she best be careful not to misbehave in her effort to force herself into the chambers because one or few law enforcement officers may take advantage to embarrass or humiliate her.

Tell Natasha to respect herself once she is ordered to return from the gate of the Senate.

Olumaeme:
Lol, the court has done that already by saying that she should resume her duties and that the senate does not have power to suspend her for six months.

Yes, the court can rule on those rules if they are contrary to the provisions of the constitution.

You seems to be ignorant of the law. Read up.

Did you read the court judgement? Obviously you didn't.

Please quote the part of the court judgement where the judge said she should resume back to the Senate.

Please note, I want you to quote the court judgement.

Olumaeme:
She won because she won.

The court judgement was in her favor that the action of the senate is illegal., that's why she's resuming.

You didn't read the news?

It is you and some media organizations, maybe sponsored ones, that think it is in her favor.

In my opinion, the court didn't opine that she can't be punished. The court expressly recognized the powers of the Senate to punish disorderly senators.

The judge only said that power to punish should not be overreaching. The judge went ahead to state that those powers as stated in the Senate rules and regulations should have specified punishment period rather than leave it open. The judge felt that 6 months is too long for punishment for reasons explained by the judge.

Go and read the court judgement

Olumaeme:
She cannot tender apology to the senate. All those have been overtaken by events

If the senate felt she should or must apologize they should approach the court.

She was told to apologize so they recall her back from suspension but she choosed to go to court instead of issuing any apologies and she won, clearly.

The court has no such jurisdiction to determine the activities of the Senate.

Make no mistake about that, the Senate has its rules and regulations, if a senator goes contrary to the rules, there will be consequences, that is the fate of Natasha.

She must take responsibility for her actions and pay the penalty.

Did the court excuse her offence?
Did the court say the Senate can't punish the disorderly senators?

Take some time to think objectively on the subject and stop being emotional about it.

Olumaeme:
She must comply, it's a no brainer and she will also resmune because resumption is also part of compliance to court order.

There's nothing egoistic about court judgement.

You will be abreast with the news as it breaks:

The Senate will not reduce or terminate the suspension.

I can bet that the Senate will file an appeal. The Senate will:

1. First refuse her entry into the chamber or resumption in office.
2. Take almost 3 months to study the judgement.
3. Appeal the Judgement in a court of appeal, if need be, or assume there was no binding order of the court on the Senate to terminate the suspension.

This case may run till the end of Natasha's tenure as a senator of the FRN, except she does the expected - humbly apologize, become more diplomatic and respectful towards her colleagues and constituted authority of the Senate, irrespective of the private lives involving her family and any Senate leaders.

We honestly just want the senators to face their duty in the interest of the people and stop the drama and sensationalization of sex or rape or sexual harassment in the Senate.


Mark my words!

Olumaeme:
Abi some of you don't understand English.

Why will she apologize to Senate?

She will apologize and pay 5m to the court.

It was a contempt of court and not contempt of senate. Senate does not have the power to bar her from posting on social media, as they are a party to the matter.

Use your number 2 nau.

You forgot that the Senate requested her to tender an apology to the Senate and Senate President for her unruly, disrespectful and disorderly behavior in the first place.

The apology is even the condition upon which the 6 months suspension will be reviewed.

Furthermore, failure to tender the apology within the 6 months would still translate to an extension of the 6 months suspension.

We shall see.

Olumaeme:
She won bro, are you sure you have been following the case?

Wake up from your sleep and get information.

How did she win?

You are so inept to the extent that you can't comprehend that the consequences of every human actions sticks with us, it becomes reputation in her case and a lot wouldn't want to associate with her.

Olumaeme:
The apology does not stop her form resuming

She can quickly resume while returning representation to her people and follow the court instructions during the week.

You really think she will comply with the court order if she is allowed to resume ahead of compliance.

That woman's pride and ego is too big to humble her. She is naturally egoistic.

Did the court lift Senator Natasha Apoti Uduaghan's suspension?

Can we read the verdict of the court carefully and pay attention to the words.

GanagiBitrus:
Do you consider it wise to bring your private family issues under Social Media public glare?

It's Tuface private life. If he doesn't want to take his advice, he can report to other family members & hold his peace, instead of reporting to the whole world via Social Media.
Wetin concern the whole world with your private family affairs?
There is no wisdom in his action, unless his real motive is to cause trouble for Tuface.

I understand your point but he was only trying to communicate with his brother who is probably shielded from him or avoiding him.

It is unfortunate that they had to resort to communication via social media however, the message has been passed now. Let's see how 2 Face and boo will react.

I hope they don't do social media response too.

GanagiBitrus:
Which kind brother dey advise him brother on Social Media.

If he has anything to tell Tuface, he should meet him one on one instead of washing his dirty linen in public.

The type of brother that no longer has access to his sibling, if he could meet him and have the conversation, you will not see it on social media.

rezy15:
Should we talk about the rise in cost of living?
The spreading insecurity hitting states?
The poor state of power hindering industrial growth?
The rising debt profile of the country with no tangible infrastructural indices to justify more borrowing?
Have you forgotten that corruption has continued and even escalated with zero convictions so far?
Are you economically more secure in 2025 than 2023? Do you need any more measure of performance to judge this government? Or are you going to say he met it like that when he came into power. What did he promise to do? What has he achieved?

Rising cost of living is notable.

Insecurity has been a challenge for every government. It is not peculiar to Tinubus government.

Power challenge predates Tinubus government.

Corruption has always been a challenge in Nigeria.

Rising debt profile is normal, the debt should be channelled into infrastructures and capital projects that can positively impact the population and drive growth and development.

I personally feel the Tinubus government is making efforts however the economy is very challenging.

JetApartment:
You really think you can receive people not knowing you are actually deceiving yourself, I am am sure you don't know the Tinubu you voted for was just a paper tiger criticizing every government that came onboard, Well, thank God he is now President and doing far worse than the government he once criticised daily on the pages of newspapers across the nation.

Should I start mentioning everything thing Tinubu once criticised but end up doing them? Oh, Is it the subsidy protest or oh I remember him telling Jonathan to resign when insecurity was affecting his government, hypocrites like you won't tell your Oga to resign because you are all known sycophants...I could go on and on, Tinubu is only good at criticizing but when given the opportunity to govern he is messing up big time.

Like someone rightfully said Tinubu scores A1 in Politics but F9 in governance and it is so glaring even to the blind.

I am sure you remembered the messages in the attached screenshot. Mind you, he also promised stable power supply and once criticised previous government ooo, let's not even go to that now.

Peter Obi is Tinubu's nemesis just as Tinubu was Jonathan's nemesis when Jonathan was in government, he should deal with it, he is having a taste of his medicine...you guys are just wasting your time defending a double faced person like Tinubu.

Okay, more grease to a Peter Obi's elbow.

And you as well.

https://www.kjzz.org/the-show/2025-06-30/bbc-look-ahead-why-russia-and-china-wont-be-attending-international-brics-summit

EVERYBODY KNOWS THERE'S INSECURITY IN NIGERIA ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH, BUT ZOMBIES THINK OTHERWISE, ZOMBIES SAYS NOTHING LIKE INSECURITY... WHOEVER NAMED THESE GUYS ZOMBIES SHOULD BE GIVEN A NATIONAL AWARD.

The President of Nigeria Tinubu of a country Nigeria that is not even a member country of BRICS left his people battling with insecurity to attend BRICS with zero value, and you lots do not see the insensitivity in it, Oh I forgot, Zombies don't have feelings.

PETER OBI WILL KEEP PRESSING ALL YOUR NECKS...YOU STILL HAVE TWO YEARS OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS LEFT.

To the best of my knowledge, insecurity isn't just in the North of Nigeria. It is all over Nigeria and highly prevalent in the North.

Insecurity has been a challenge in nigeria since the the days of Obasanjo, Yaradua, Jonathan, Buhari and Tinubu.

Insecurity is a problem around the entire world. Every government endeavors to develop solutions to security challenges, internal and external security challenges.

I believe that the Tinubu government is also trying to develop, strategize and engage solutions to Nigeria's several challenges, including security.

Primary school education challenges with respect to teachers strike in Abuja is a constitutional challenge.

The payroll and remuneration of teachers of government pimary schools in Abuja and all states in Nigeria is constitutionally the responsibility of the Local Government or Area Councils.

Several efforts have been made by the minister to engage and compel the area councils chairmen to fulfill that obligation but for reasons best known to the chairmen, they have refused to comply.

The Minister of FCT even had to send them additional funds to ensure payment of the salaries to the primary school teachers but they still diverted the fund to another use.

The power is in the hands of the people in Abuja to remove the area council chairmen. The people (parents, teachers and stakeholders) can also protest at the various area council offices or Chairmen houses to compel them to pay the teachers salaries and remuneration.

You should not be blaming that on the FCT Minister or the president of Nigeria outrightly.

Peter Obi seems to be a content creator critic rather than a solution provider or senior citizen trying to foster peace, development and progress in Nigeria. He is sensationalizing challenges in the society that government seems to be engaging with strategies and efforts to solve.

Peter Obi can wait till he becomes president of Nigeria so he call solve the problems.

Being critical of the government is normal but we should criticize constructively with the agenda to prefer solutions, development, space and progress. Not to destroy, instigate rebellion, chaos and division.

rezy15:
Oga rest. Yes we agree he was useless those 8 years. Doesn't change the facts he stated there. Tinubu that 'worked' in Lagos is a disaster on a national scale. How about that?

What do you mean: "Tinubu is a disaster on national scale"

What statistics have you used to derive this assumption or theory? Did you prove the theory at all?
