Senator Natasha Reports Her Suspension, Case Against Akpabio To UN Inter-Parliamentary Union

The Senate suspended the Kogi lawmaker last week, accusing her of violating its rules days after she submitted a petition against Senate President Akpabio.

It appears the controversy over the allegations by Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill and her suspension from the Red Chamber may not be getting off the news anytime soon.

This is because the suspended Kogi Senator on Tuesday took her case to a global stage.

At the Women in Parliament Session held at the Inter-Parliamentary Union Meeting (IPU) at the United Nations in New York, Senator Natasha is seeking justice and the intervention of global democratic institutions.

The lawmaker is asking for justice over what she describes as injustice meted on her by according to her, “unlawful suspension” from the senate

After her speech, she expressed worry about her security. The Kogi Central lawmaker claimed there are indications that she may be held against her will in New York for speaking up on the issue at the global event by “the powers that be” from Nigeria.

You see..

She should be suspended for the rest of her term

Are the UN inter parliamentary union coming to beat Akpabio or remove him? Why should Natasha carry Senate matter to outsiders?

She should be suspended permanently.

Everything is not gragra na, Akpabio will be expected to explain himself in New York and they will definitely need the outcome of investigations into Natasha's allegations no matter the reason they say they suspended her. These people block their ears to reason and keep acting like crude apes. Nobody is saying he's guilty but sexual harassment is a very sensitive topic in the wider world that they don't joke with. If Akpabio really had an adviser who told him the truth and advised him on strategy, he would have opted for diplomacy instead of brute force but wetin concern me ? The king will have to dance nakéd in New York cool

I think at this stage, it's advisable she thread with her caution as she's taking it too far.

Her aim is to tarnish Ajpabio's image and obviously she is doing that

you're part of the bad advisers I'm talking about that will tell a danfo driver to drive off third mainland bridge into the lagoon just because of a single enger who's lousy. The least that will come out of this is embarrassment on a global stage and who's going to lose out at the end ? Brand Nigeria but I'm sure you don't know Nigeria is a brand but at least, you should know Tinubu is the head of that brand so now tell me how he would feel when fellow presidents ask him about his Senate president trying to surpress investigations into sexual harassment allegations against him ? You're right, it'll be embarrassing for to anyone except they're shameless. I keep telling you people, Tinubu does not need unnecessary stress around him from appointees and elected officials this period but you won't listen. It seems I'm the only person who can tell him the truth and suggest strategies instead of you clowns

Honestly I'm being fair. Natasha might be right or wrong. Same as Akpabio.
But one thing is clear, this is a Nigerian matter and Nigeria is an independent and sovereign state. They can't sanction Akpabio.

However, investigation should be conducted about her claim and analyse possible evidences and proofs.

I suggest she writes to the EU, US and Saudi Arabia because this is a serious issue.

It is clear that this woman does not weigh her actions carefully before taking them.

1. There was a case of Akpabio holding her hand and showing her round his house and scratching her palm with his fingers. He then proposed to her in the presence of her husband that they could be coming there for "quality time". She said she didn't tell her husband the details nor report the incidence to the ethics committee. Mistake number 1.

2. She said when she visited Akpabio in his office to complain about her motion being stood down, Akpabio said as the chief presiding officer of the senate, he'd take care of her if she took care of him. She didn't report the incidence to the ethics committee. Mistake number 2.

3. On a routine day, she was re-allocated to a seat and she started quarreling when she refused to take her seat after she was told she could not speak from where she was. She said she was being silenced and was speaking for the Nigerian women. She could have simply moved to her new seat and made her contributions from there. Mistake number 3.

4. She answered a call from Brekete where she said the new seat they sent her to would hide her from the camera and she won't catch the eye of the senate president. That was a silly thing to say. Mistake number 4.

5. She went on Arise News and made claims of sexual harassment. That was her biggest mistake. She could have first made a report to the ethics committee and leaked it to the press. By doing a media appearance, she allowed those she was fighting prepare an ambush.

6. She then formally filed a petition against Akpabio on sexual harassment. It turned out to be improperly filed according to the senate red book, Order 40, sub 4. That exposed her as being unaware of parliamentary processes. Her colleagues ripped her petition to pieces. Mistake number 6.

7. Mistake number 7 was taking Akpabio to court over an infamous facebook post by Akpabio's aide where the aide said she wore transparent clothing and walked seductively in the senate. I am no fan of Akpabio, but he is not liable for what his aide wrote. His lawyers would argue correctly that he be excluded from the case.

8. Mistake number 8 was obtaining a court order to stop her probe. That could have given her ample opportunity to give cause to her conduct which could have allowed her cite the sexual assault issues and give evidence. By citing the cases, she could have put the ethics committee in trouble because their hands would have been tied.

9. Because she allowed her colleagues see the battle she was waging before sge waged them, they could prepare their counter-attacks.

10. I think going to the inter parliamentary union undermines her case. The IPU has no supervisory powers over Nigeria's senate and can do nothing to discipline Akpabio. What she'd accomplish is rubbishing and embarrassing Akpabio and her colleagues. Many of these people are already persona non gratae which makes her action self-defeating.

What she can do now is to take time out, listen to those who genuinely care about her and find a different tactic to fight this battle. She should forget about getting justice from this senate. My recommendation would be to file a formal petition in court or code of conduct tribunal against Akpabio and fight it till the end. Akpabio can be docked.
