A former lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the planned resumption of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Sani said the senator’s return to the National Assembly remains uncertain if it depends on a pending court case.
He wrote: “If the pending court issues has to be resolved before the Kogi Senator resumes, then the resumption has no date.”
Recall the National Assembly had on Tuesday rejected Akpoti-Uduaghan’s notification of her intention to resume legislative duties.
In a letter dated September 4, 2025, and signed by the Acting Clerk to the National Assembly, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, the Senate said her six-month suspension remains in force pending the judgment of the Court of Appeal.
