No one likes it.
The more reason why Apkabio should step up and tell the whole world, that Natasha should bring forward her evidence. And if she fails, he should her for defamation.
I will support him at that point. But he is quick to punish her and he is running away from accountability himself......lol
Akpabio is guilty trust me. She has made the move, if she is found to be without proof that automatic defamation lawsuit.
But Akpabio knows that there is evidence.

If I accuse you of stealing in a meeting we both attended, who’s going to prove it? Me or You?
She’s the one responsible for providing the proof, not Akpabio. Akpabio claim not to know anything about the issue, where do you want him to get proof from?
Besides, she should go to the court and sue him if she has proof. Her suspension doesn’t stop her from going to court.
Do you know that she won her senatorial seat in court? She actually didn’t win in the 2023 elections. An APC guy did. So she’s not a novice to the law. She isn’t ignorant. She’s a lawyer. If it was me, I will not even waste time. I will be in the court room with my evidence. Text message can be a good evidence. So many others.
PS: She was suspended from the senate because she was being a bit problematic.
With the seat issues and all.
You don’t judge case in the senate, you pass bills and there are rules for senators to follow, if you violate it, you will be punished.

naijaking1:
Mr. A is accused by Mrs. B.
Mr. A directly and indirectly makes himself the judge of his own case, Mrs. B's case is of course dismissed, and she's punished.
As if this doesn't go against our common sense of justice and equity, Mr. A goes around playing the victim.
Think about it for your own future and those of your children yet unborn.

The Senate committee suspended her for misconduct in the house, not Akpabio.
He only read out what the committee arrived at, which is his job.
They don’t have the power to preside over her allegations because she has already petitioned in the judiciary.
Even though this woman is a lawyer, she’s just doing everything wrong. Bringing up a case without evidence is dumb from a lawyer.

nwakibie3:
I thought this idi@t said he didn't want to talk about it again Clout chaser

So you were not interested in the truth about all this. You just want a new Senate president..lol.
As a PDP supporter, I can tell you everything is not about politics in life. What this woman did to Reno is just cruel.

Asonaijaaso:
Natasha Akpoti might not be innocent, but her being guilty does not make Akpabio automatically innocent.

Akpabio should also present himself for investigation, Akpabio is hiding something as well.

I dislike Akpabio more than you. I’m very certain of that. Man talks very carelessly and I will very much be the happiest person if he is not the SP.
But I’ve seen someone go through a sexual assault blackmail that ultimately led to suicide. I don’t know why the law takes it lightly. I wouldn’t wish it on my enemy.
It’s cruel, what she did to Reno.

mbahdi:
This man is an enemy of progress.hes Running mad..and dats y he has been unable to amount to anything good..,,

So you consider a blackmail as progress.
There’s nothing wrong with exposing a liar.

malali:
Omokri is a Certified political prostitute who can sacrifice his mother for political relevance.

Akpabio is telling the world he suspended Natasha Akpoti for plenary misconduct on sitting arrangements.

Has akpabio forgotten when he entered a shouting contest with Saraki (then senate president in the senate)

It nearly turned into a fist fight, he was called to order by 4-5 other senators including senator Ndume. I have attached the picture and there is a video online as well.

Saraki did not suspend Akpabio for this unruly behavior. Now Akpabio is suspending people in the senate if you even look at him with side eye.

These are senators for crying out loud, they are there to represent their people ,if they have to raise their voice to be heard, it comes with the territory. he seems to want a bunch of meek, shy senators ? That will even ask him for permission to go and use the toilet.

Are you not concerned that the woman Sen Akpoti is a notorious liar?

Skoonheid:
Akpabio, you're an emperor without clothes. You pay men to cover your unclothedness, but you can't pay everyone. Your sins will find you out in your lifetime. Mark this space

Even I too dislike Akpabio, but that woman is evil. This is what we call ‘a black lie’.
Telling lies to put a fellow’s career in danger.
It’s normal to tell lies, but when you do it to hurt another person, I’m out.
Did you watch that video? Does it look ai?
Even if Reno was paid, that video still looks real. It’s pathetic!

Iretii0511:
Unless we are pretending, distinguished senator Natasha wouldn’t have accused the senate president of sexual harassment if he wasn’t trying to chyke her.

A man who has no control over his sexual desires is a problem in the workspace, especially when he’s in a position of power. This issue should be dealt with without wearing the cloak of party loyalty because today, it’s Natasha, it could be you or your relative tomorrow.

Just like Reno Omokri sexually harassed her. You are right.

Solution0707:
to me, mark this day, MR senate president will leave his sit with shame, because he is a he goat THAT WILL SOON FALL VICTIM OF ANOTHER WOMAN

But Senator Natasha is actually accusing another man of the same thing she falsely accused one before. I’m not saying she’s lying, but my best judge of character is repetition.

Penalty saves the day AGAIN. Na wa.

Ojuntana:
Yeah
And the one rendering unsolicited advice shouldn't be so hurry that her advice wasn't taken that she'll among those to cast the stones

The advice she was given was to go to her allocated seat and obey senate rules. Later you can petition your case in court.
Is that an unsolicited advice or you just heard the word for the first time🤷🏽

GreenCovering:
Akpabio you fall hand big time, using the honourable office of the Senate President to be chasing a married woman chai

See allegations in Akpoti's petition. You are a goner once found to be true!!!

“Spend quality moments with me in my residence"
“You know I am the Senate President; I will give you whatever you want, all you have to do is make me happy”
“Senator Natasha, you can enjoy a whole lot if you take care of me and make me happy”

Do you know the meaning of allegation?
How can somebody fall your hand with an allegation.
I’m tired of you people who purposely don’t want to be reasonable.🤦‍♂️

Ojuntana:
And who appointed her adviser of the universe

A stubborn person is the one that faces the consequences of being stubborn, not the adviser.

Ojuntana:
Well, senator Ireti will have to explain further what she means by being stubborn
Last I checked, they are colleagues and one is not subordinate to the other. You can call her your daughter all you want but she's not. She's your colleague in the senate and you're both first timers. So in my estimation, it is condescending of senator Ireti to label her fellow senator "stubborn" as if she were referring to her child or a subordinate

A stubborn person is one that doesn’t listen to good advice; advice that can make one avoid trouble.

Jostoman:
Once you speak the truth to APC government you automatically become Obedient.

He has a point. Personally, I don’t want Tinubu as president because I think he’s not the best man for the job but there’s a line.
While I think Obi is a great man for the job, his followers are not going to make it easy for him. Most of them don’t want to be reasonable as long as it is not Obi or his associates involved.
I mean that woman was wrong to have cause chaos in the house by refusing to move to her allocated seat.
She brought up the sexual assault case after that. I’m not saying that she’s wrong but the timing is very suspicious.
Also she doesn’t have any tangible evidence and has done this blackmail thing to someone else before.
Again I’m not saying she’s lying because I wasn’t there but the signs are not showing anything to believe in her story.
Regardless, her case is in court and hopefully, the truth will be revealed if she tenders her evidence.

emmatex2020:
A letter signed by only the publicity secretary. Hahaha PDP under the current acting national chairman is control by Chief Barr Nyesom Wike. Any other PDP is fake, why have they not sold form for anambra governorship election? Wike is in charge of PDP structure

If you’re not a member or supporter of the PDP and you’re discussing our matter, God will punish you with a Wike in your family.

12345baba:
Even if na last thing I do before kpai, my children must be citizens of another better nation. Naija done baaje. See dirty stupid politics

This is the only sensible and credible outcome that has taken place in this Tinubu’s useless administration.
The same thing she did to Reno that didn’t work. You still cannot see that she was setting up a cheap blackmail to lure dumb people’s sympathy and remove attention from her insubordination.
You need to sharpen your IQ o, because I doubt if another nation go allow you sew seeds for their land, not to talk of born children.

God1000:
Sycophants, I don't know why women don't like supporting each other

You want women to support women indulging in insubordination ?
I’m confused 🤷🏽

helinues:
Those who are hoarding dollars would cry bitterly soon

Illiteracy🤦‍♂️

GanagiBitrus:
Natasha could have set up Akpabio & gotten (video) evidence on these allegations.

A case of Sexual Harassment can't be established based on mere allegations without evidence.

Looking at Akpabio, you will know he’s a dumb person. To get a text message to back her claim wouldn’t have been hard if there was any credibility in her petition.
I think she was just looking for public sympathy after her insubordination.
Her husband is not even as vocal on the issue as you’d expect.

Every woman that considers herself attractive always assumes they are being wooed and sometimes sexually harangued.
If you don’t stay far away from them, you go learn like Akpabio is doing.
Prioritize olosho and you’ll be fine.

teekay213:
We are in a terrible country. to have suspend a woman who was so brave to have come out for sexual assault and this is what she gets.

The president heard about this!

The first lady who was once a senator knows about this!

The minister of woman affairs knows about this!

But she was shamelessly worked out of the senate

Akpabio was quilty of the offense you can see it all over him

With this move, women who are battling sexual harassment who be afraid to come out. Shame on all of you people!

If you support this woman because you dislike Akpabio and APC, I can totally relate because those people do not deserve honesty at all.
But if you genuinely believe her because of facts and reasons without sentiments,
then you need to work on your smartness because it isn’t sharp at all.

Hemanwel:
Reno Wendell BemiGOAT Simlin, every rational person in Nigeria knows you have been paid heavily to support this Tinubu administration, and attack oppositions! Nothing you say on the Social Media space concerning this administration holds water!

The only people taking you seriously are ronu miscreants who go to bed on empty stomach, forgetting you are far away abroad enjoying the good structures saner countries have provided for their citizens.

But wait o. This isn’t political at all. If it is, then God punish APC, Tinubu and Akpabio because I will be the most happiest person if these folks were voted out.
That woman, Natasha is a liar.
There’s no way in hell I will ever side with a sexual assault blackmail.
If you have ever experienced it in your life, you will put all sentiments aside and be reasonable.

Ojuntana:
Use your imagination

Seeing that after she rebuffed his advances, he changed towards her and started looking for every means to malign and rubbish her, is it not better for her to speak up so everyone knows the reason for the tension between them instead of chasing rats?

The rule she broke does not carry punitive action of suspension. What the rule says is that she will not be recognised to speak and if she insists, then she can be walked out of the chamber. Nothing like suspension

Meanwhile the courts have ruled and the constitution clear that you can't suspend a senator for more than 14 days. So how come the Senate is free to disobey the constitution but expects full obedience to its laws from members and the public? What manner of intransigence is that?

I agree with you on the matter of blackmail. But we need to look at this thing from both sides. Akpabio seems to be targetting her for whatever reason. First called her a night club girl. Even his media aide accused her of wearing make-up and nude clothes.

Man!! How will you react if someone says your wife dresses like a call girl? That shows the level of contempt he holds her

My imagination tells me that he didn’t rebuff any sexual advances.
My imagination tells me that if there was anything true about Akpabio’s advances in 2023 as she claimed in her petition, she wouldn’t have honored his invitation to his house in May 2024 at 7pm to discuss work related issues.
My imagination tells me that you wouldn’t have seen Akpabio and Mr Uduaghan chatting and laughing at an event in August 2024, because you expect her to have informed her husband of Akpabio’s advances.
Even though I don’t have any proof, just like Senator Natasha doesn’t have any, my imagination tells me that she’s lying.
She’s only trying to buy public sympathy after being disobedient and insubordinate in the house. This is why all the senators did not support her. Not majority o. All!

Ojuntana:
Who are the people bigger than Akpabio in the House?
Can you name them?
The fact remains that there is nothing Akpoti did that warrants a suspension, moreso when the constitution clearly spells out the limit for suspending a senator
And FYI, only one senator spoke against the bill and that's Ndume who was severely threatened for that
The only reason he wasn't suspended was because of the overwhelming support of the North including govs he enjoyed outside the senate

You spoke very well, so you should know the meaning of insubordination.
If the other 10 senators that their seats were changed behaved like Senator Natasha, what do you think would’ve happened in the house?

See how to be clever.
Imagine a scenario where she obeyed all the standard rules and regulations of the house that the other senators were already obeying and still accused the SP of sexual assault.
God knows that nobody wants Akpabio out, or Tinubu or APC out as much as I do.
But I’ve been a victim of a blackmail.
I know it when I see it and don’t wish it on anyone.

Ojuntana:
The other senators want to remain in the good books of their Oga
This is not the first time a senator will be marked for suspension and others will go mute
No one wants to lose prayers to their mail boxes
Only zombies are defending looters and their accomplices

That’s what I said na. Everyone is against her.
Not even one honest person amongst 109 people.
Quit being sentimental and learn this 👇
-All the 108 senators don’t need 1% of Akpabio to come back into the house.
-Akpabio cannot even guarantee his coming back because he narrowly won his own election and lost in 2019.
-Senator Saraki lost his bid to return in 2019, even as SP. They are not as powerful as you think.
-You obviously don’t know that senator Ireti constantly fights with Akpabio in the house.

You are very funny. Do you know that there are people bigger than Akpabio in that house?
Do you know that they quarrel in that house almost every time there’s a meeting?
When the president brought the tax reform bill, some senators openly fought it.
They are not afraid of that one, na this one dem go fear.
They had a perfect understanding of how everything played out. That’s why they didn’t support her.
She’s a lawyer, she knows the next step to take.

Ojuntana:
What does the senate rule prescribe as punishment for speaking from where is not your seat?
Does it prescribe suspension?
What is the procedure for changing seats according to same Senate rules?
Was it followed?
Why is Akpabio picking on a woman once again like he did with Nunieh?
Must she agree to his advances? That is the primary problem

I think you’re right. She also rejected the sexual advances of the other 109 senators too. Including the 3 senators from Kogi State.
She’s being victimized by every body in the house because she refused to have sex with them.

santuspearl:
Is your mother f00lish? Is that why she gave birth to a misfit like you? I am sure you are one of those that marry underaged kids and force them so you see nothing wrong when women are sexually harassed. Same akpabio was accused by the female nddc boss. with all the problems faced by Nigerians and the untold hardship brought upon Nigerians by APC, akpabio's only job is to chase after married women and then victimize them when they do not agree... removing her from committees, withdrawing her sponsorship for official trips, changing her seat, not recognizing her when she wants to speak. I pray they harass your sister too at her work place so you can call her f00lish when the time reaches

I thought this manner of speaking isn’t allowed on this forum 💁🏻‍♀️

Abokinmanoma:
Hmmm. Nawa Ooo..

This Suspension should serve as a deterrent for other women that just wants to use their position as women to always attack me with Sexual Harassment cos it's the easiest thing for them to do and would most likely be believed most of the times

Nobody in the Senate supports Natasha, Why?

Because they all have a clear and perfect understanding of the whole story; how it started and how it led to claims of sexual harassment.
There are over 100 senators in that house from different tribes, parties, religion, gender, you can name it all.
It is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for all of them to support her suspension if she has even the slightest case to prove.
She looks like a very insubordinate and unprofessional person.

UDOKABESTLUV:
When Will Dollar Fall To 1,000Naira For 1 $ 😢

When you stop asking this question every time you create this type of topic.

Ilekokonit:
Whatever you think of Senator Natasha, she gets guts and courage and she is a good lawyer.

We need more warriors of every sex to give our greedy politicians a run for their money. Akpabio think say na ordinary woman Natasha be, him no do him research else he would have realized that Natasha is a Ukrainian warrior (her mum is Ukrainian).

Who dey suffer am now?

Enemyofpeace:
The Cult have taken a decision, they will not allow anybody rubbish their Capon . The GOOD people of Nigeria know this is pure intimidation to shut her up.

Senator Natasha Suspended By NASS!
The ethics and public petitions recommended the following punishment for Senator Natasha, for standing up for her rights in the Senate.

Fellow compatriots, this is what happens when thieves, criminals and traitors are in charge of governance. What a shame for the so-called giant of Africa and the most populous black nation on earth!

1. Suspension for 6 months.
2. ⁠She must write a written apology before she resumes office.
3. Suspension takes effect from 6th March.
4. ⁠Her office must be locked for the duration of her suspension.
5. ⁠she must not come close to the NASS complex.
6. ⁠Her salaries, allowances and security details are suspended for the duration of her suspension.
7. ⁠She must be barred from presenting herself as a Senator for local and international media for the duration of her suspension.

Did you notice that she failed to mention the sitting position incident in the petition?
