Natasha vows to resume plenary Tuesday despite Akpabio’s appeal
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has declared her intention to resume plenary on Tuesday, defying Senate President Godswill Akpabio’s appeal for patience amid ongoing legal and administrative matters.
Her statement comes amid tension surrounding her role in the upper legislative chamber, following political disputes and recent court judgments. While Akpabio had urged calm and a delay in her return pending procedural clarifications, Natasha insists that her mandate is valid and her right to represent her constituents must not be delayed any further.
“I was duly elected, and I have a responsibility to the people of Kogi Central. No amount of political maneuvering will silence that,” she stated confidently.
Political observers say the situation could test unity within the Senate as well as Akpabio’s leadership style. All eyes are now on Tuesday’s plenary as Natasha prepares to make her return—possibly with public and political fireworks to follow.
