Suspended Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has reaffirmed her intention to return to the Senate on Tuesday, citing a court judgment backing her move. Akpoti-Uduaghan, currently facing suspension, made this declaration during a media interaction while attending a training program in her constituency on Saturday. She emphasized that her suspension had significantly hindered her from carrying out her constitutional legislative responsibilities. According to Natasha, she has formally notified the Nigerian Senate in writing of her decision to resume her senatorial duties. She referenced the recent Federal High Court ruling in Abuja, clarifying that regardless of the ongoing debates surrounding the court’s decision, she is determined to return to her seat in the National Assembly. “I have just about two months left before the six-month suspension duration lapses. Nevertheless, I have written once more to the Senate, informing them that I will be resuming on the 22nd, which falls on Tuesday, by God’s special grace,” she stated confidently. Akpoti-Uduaghan stressed that her decision is anchored on the judicial ruling, affirming her legal right to return to the Senate despite the existing controversies.
