National Assembly Management blocks Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan’s return

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expressed concern over the decision taken by the Senate to block the return of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from resuming after the expiration of six months suspension imposed on her.

The party in a statement released by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba in Abuja 

said that the reported action of the Clerk of the National Assembly was a calculated attempt to abridge the right of representation of the people of Kogi Central Senatorial District and deny them a voice at the highest law-making body in the country.

He said the attempt to use the National Assembly establishment against an elected Senator was in gross violation of the provisions of the Constitution of Nigeria and the Senate Standing Rules.

The PDP National Publicity Secretary said the action constitutes a clear danger to democracy and attempt to silent the opposition and attacks on the right of women.
