The legal standoff between Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and the National Assembly deepened Wednesday as the embattled lawmaker, through her legal team, fired a robust response to the federal legislature’s rejection of her request to resume legislative duties.
She maintained that the July 4, 2025 judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja was not merely advisory but a binding directive requiring her recall.
In the strongly worded letter tagged ‘Rejoinder’ dated July 14, 2025, Akpoti-Uduaghan’s legal team, led by Michael Jonathan Numa (SAN), contested the interpretation offered by the National Assembly in its earlier correspondence.
