Opposition Lawmakers Visit Suspended Senator Natasha, Vow To Challenge Suspension
By Trek Africa Newspaper
A group of opposition senators visited suspended lawmaker Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan at her residence on Friday, pledging their support and vowing to advocate for a resolution to what they called an unjust political situation.
The delegation was led by former Bayelsa State Governor and Senator representing Bayelsa West, Seriake Dickson, who is also a member of the Senate Ethics and Privileges Committee — the same committee that recommended Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension.
Sharing photos from the visit on social media, Dickson stated that he was absent from the Senate plenary when the decision to suspend Akpoti-Uduaghan was taken, as he was engaged with discussions on tax reform bills.
“As humans, senators have their low and high moments, and it is a tradition for us to stand by each other during these times,” Dickson said, emphasising the need for solidarity among lawmakers.
