Akpabio filed a notice of appeal dated July 14 at the Court of Appeal in Abuja, contesting the court’s July 4 decision that declared Akpoti-Uduaghan’s six-month suspension from the Senate as excessive and without legal basis.
The appeal, marked CA/A//2025, originates from suit FHC/ABJ/CS/384/2025, filed by Akpoti-Uduaghan to challenge her suspension from the Red Chamber.
Akpabio, through his legal team, is asking the appellate court to overturn the judgement delivered by Justice Binta Nyako.
He is arguing on 11 grounds, mainly that the Federal High Court lacked the legal authority to interfere in the internal affairs of the National Assembly.
