Suspended Senator EXPOSES Senate’s “Excessive” Ban! What Happens Next Will Amaze You!

Suspended Kogi Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has formally asked the Senate to reinstate her right away. She’s relying on a Federal High Court ruling that called her six-month suspension “excessive and overreaching.

In a letter dated July 11, 2025, sent to the Senate through her legal team, M.J. Numa & Partners LLP, Akpoti-Uduaghan insisted on immediate compliance with Justice Binta Nyako’s judgment from July 4.

The letter, signed by Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Michael Jonathan Numa, referred to suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/384/2025, highlighting constitutional breaches in the suspension. “The Honourable Court made several findings and orders, including… that the six-month suspension imposed on the Plaintiff was excessive, overreaching, and inconsistent with her ability to comply with the provisions of Section 63 of the 1999 Constitution,” the petition stated.

Her legal team urged the Senate to act quickly to get Akpoti-Uduaghan back into the chamber. “We respectfully demand that you give immediate effect to the clear and binding Order of the Federal High Court by taking all necessary steps to facilitate Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s resumption of her legislative duties forthwith,” they added.

They also informed the Senate of her plan to resume legislative activities on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.

While the court didn’t directly order the Senate to reverse the suspension, it did advise the red chamber to consider reinstating her, stating that the suspension violated both the Constitution and the rights of her constituents to representation.

Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended on March 6, 2025, following a motion accusing her of “unparliamentary conduct.” She then sued the Senate President, the Clerk of the National Assembly, and the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions.
