Tension Grips National Assembly As Natasha Threatens To Make Return

 

There is tension in the national assembly over the planned return for the legislative business by the suspended lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The development followed the judgement of an Abuja Federal High Court which ordered the Senate to reconsider the recall of the embattled senator.

The court also directed Natasha to apologize to the senate on national newspapers and as well pay the sum of N5 million as fine.

However, the Red Chamber had insisted that it will not take any decision until it receive the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the court’s pronouncement before taking the next steps on Natasha matter.

But, in a defiant move, the female lawmaker had threatened to attend the plenary on Tuesday, July 8.

Akpoti-Uduaghan had told her jubilant supporters in a video trending on social media that she would resume her legislative activities in the Red Chamber without waiting for Senate pronouncement.

The senator also expressed gratitude to her constituents for standing by her, following the favourable court judgment that reaffirmed her position in the Senate.

“I thank you for your support. I am glad we are victorious today. We shall resume in the Senate on Tuesday by the grace of God.”She said.
