In recent developments concerning Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central, a recall process has been initiated by certain stakeholders within her constituency. This action follows her public accusation of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, which he has denied. Subsequently, Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended from the Senate for six months due to alleged disciplinary infractions, including speaking without recognition and making abusive remarks.
The Kogi Central Concerned Stakeholders expressed dissatisfaction with Akpoti-Uduaghan’s conduct, urging her to focus on her legislative duties and warning of a potential recall if such actions persist. Conversely, another group, the Concerned Constituents of Kogi Central Senatorial District, has rejected any recall attempts and demanded her immediate reinstatement, deeming the suspension illegal and a violation of their democratic rights.
This situation has sparked protests and clashes among supporters and opponents of Akpoti-Uduaghan, reflecting a deep division within her constituency regarding her actions and the subsequent Senate response.
