The Senate’s refusal to recall the senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, because the order of the Federal High Court did not compel it to do so has again exposed the controversial nature of the judgment, which is unbecoming of courts in the country, Wale Igbintade writes
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s plan to return to the Senate on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, met stiff resistance as the red chamber cautioned her against returning until her suspension is formally lifted.
The resistance stem from a statement issued last Sunday by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Yemi Adaramodu, where he argued there is no valid court order compelling the red chamber to lift the lawmaker’s suspension ahead of schedule.
