NATASHA TAKES CASE AGAINST AKPABIO TO UN, INTER-PARLIAMENTARY UNION

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the suspended Kogi Central lawmaker has taken her case to the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Meeting at the United Nations in New York.

At the Women in Parliament Session held during the IPU meeting, Senator Natasha called for justice and intervention from global democratic institutions, alleging that her suspension from the Nigerian Senate was unlawful.

Natasha, who was suspended after a heated exchange with Senate President Godswill Akpabio, argued that she was being victimized for standing up against injustice. She expressed concerns over her security, claiming that there are indications she could be held against her will in New York for speaking out on the matter at the global event.

In a video obtained by Vanguard, Natasha was seen sobbing while presenting her case.

Her suspension from the Senate came after she accused Senate President Akpabio of sexual harassment.

The incident sparked widespread debate in Nigeria, with many questioning the fairness of the disciplinary action taken against her.

By bringing her case to the UN and the IPU, Senator Natasha seeks international support against what she describes as political oppression, further escalating an already tense situation in Nigeria’s political landscape.
