Senator Natasha to face Senate Disciplinary over seat reallocation outburst in the chamber

The Senate has referred Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to its Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions for disciplinary review following a dispute over seating arrangements in the chamber.

The committee, chaired by Senator Neda Imaseun, has been given two weeks to investigate the matter and submit its findings.

The decision was reached after a voice vote on Tuesday, as lawmakers revisited the controversy surrounding Akpoti-Uduaghan’s altercation with the Senate leadership over her designated seat. Senators stressed the importance of upholding parliamentary decorum and adherence to established rules.

Raising a motion under Senate Orders 1(b) and 10, Senate spokesperson, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, condemned what he described as Akpoti-Uduaghan’s “extreme intransigence” during the February 20 plenary session.

He noted that the issue had dominated media discussions, forcing him to work on repairing the public perception of the 10th Senate.

“The Senate is not a platform for content creation but a place for lawmaking and oversight functions urging the leadership to enforce discipline.

“Where there is sin, there must be a penalty,” Adaramodu said.

Backing Adaramodu’s stance, Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele reaffirmed the chamber’s commitment to maintaining order and integrity.

“Everyone has an opinion on this issue, but we are bound by our rules. Under our watch, we will not allow this institution to be discredited beyond what we inherited. Integrity is non-negotiable,” Bamidele stated.

He dismissed claims that the dispute stemmed from gender bias, pointing out that other senior senators had accepted seat changes without protest.

In his ruling, Senate President Godswill Akpabio directed the Ethics Committee to conduct a thorough review of the incident and report back to the chamber.

Akpabio emphasised that while senators are permitted to sit anywhere, they must make contributions from their designated seats.

He suggested that Akpoti-Uduaghan’s unfamiliarity with Senate procedures may have contributed to the altercation.

The first day she was sworn in, she stood up to contribute, and I was worried if she had even read the rule book. There is nothing wrong with being vibrant, but everything wrong with disobeying procedure,” Akpabio said.

Women cannot handle POWER

Its like giving a child unparallel power. It will make them reckless

A woman never matures like men
A 56 years old woman still behave like a 7 years old girl.

Thats why we call them "Baby"
They still throw tantrums like a 5 yrs old girl..

Na only men dey mature as they grow. Women will forever be children. They don't mature like men.

So it make sense why Ancestors never involved women in sensitive areas in power.

That is why giving women power is a very bad move. It will swell her head. They are not used to power

Its like giving a kid 1 full bottle of stout to drink. Their small head can't carry the highness.
They will scatter everywhere sad

She is being used and too petty because of a Sitting Arrangements for themselves, when NIGERIANS are facing Other Serious Matters.
e.g is She and Other Senators -aware that Millions of Nigerians can't access more than 15K- as Pensions per Month?
She is just Causing a distraction there,and she should calm down Or otherwise face a recall!

All senators are equal.

But they have to choose a member to lead as president.

First among equals.

It is therefore an aberration for the senate president to deny Nigerians of their representation at the National Assembly by suspending an elected lawmaker.

You cannot suspend someone you didn’t appoint.

She needs to challenge the legality of any House rules which give “powers” to the senate leadership to remove or suspend a member as a form of discipline.







cr7lomo:


U think senate is primary school classroom.... the senate president has the right to suspend a senator ....they have house rules that they all agreed to abide

Wallade:


The Senate can suspend her or anyone who violates the rules in the Senate.

It is in their rule book and you can't change it.

I don’t think you guys can read properly. Any rule or regulation can be challenged in court as long as the plaintiff thinks it is unconstitutional.

Each Senator has the constitutional right to sit in the House. Her presence there as a Senator is not dependent on any senate leader. It only depends on the will of the voters who put her there.

She’s likely to go on suspension and when she comes back to the floor she will still embrace the seat assigned to her and still tender unreserved apology.

Seating arrangements, really? I mean, I've seen kids fight over seats on a school bus, but senators? That's a new one! Guess Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan will have to face the music now that she's been referred to the Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions. let's hope they can 'arrange' to resolve this drama quickly!

They re not used to responsibility hence cant handle power. Give them options they collapse. You re right they children in adult's body. See why getting a younger version is always better.

Didnt you see her video when she was protesting? All I heard was ''privileges'' and ''privileges'' you can see she is not there to serve just to seat in the front like a glorified piece of furniture and take horrible selfies of her overwaxed face.

I pity the gullible women who look up to her , just like medusa their destinies will be turned to stone.
