SAYS SHE CAN TENDER WRITTEN APOLOGY FOR A REVIEW OF THE SUSPENSION

As a follow up to the trending face-off between Nigerian Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Uduaghan over sexual harassment allegation against the Senate President, Senate Committee on Ethics has today recommended a six-months suspension for Senator Natasha.

NewsOrient reports that to be implemented, the committee’s recommendation will have to be approved by the Senate which is expected to vote on the recommendation at a plenary.

Recall that following the sexual harassment allegation which caused ripples across Nigeria, the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Code of Conduct, was asked to investigate the matter. It cited Senator Natasha, the complainant for “total violation of Senate rules.”

So, according to the committee’s recommendation, read by its Chairman, Senator Neda Imasuen, Senator Natasha’s suspension will take effect from March 6, 2025.

It also recommended that her office will be locked, and she will be barred from accessing the National Assembly premises during the suspension period while her salaries and those of her legislative aides will be withdrawn.

The committee equally recommended her prohibition from representing Nigeria in any official capacity as one of the country’s senators during the suspension period.

The Committee however said Senator Natasha may, in the alternative, “submit a written apology for the Senate to review her suspension.”
