Natasha dares Senate, vows to resume plenary

By

Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has declared that she will resume plenary on Tuesday.

NATIONAL POST reports that this comes after the Senate appealed the judgement that nullified her suspension.

The Senate leadership had written Natasha's lawyer, disclosing that the judgement had been appealed.

However, Akpoti-Uduaghan said her resumption was in line with the court's decision.

She disclosed this in a chat with journalists while in her constituency for a training programme on Saturday.

The embattled lawmaker said the suspension limited her from performing her legislative duties.

Natasha disclosed that she has official informed the Senate in writing about her intentions to resume.

She noted that despite the controversy surrounding the ruling of the Abuja Federal High Court, she will resume on Tuesday.

“I have pretty much two months more before the six months expire. 

"However, I have written to the Senate again telling them that I’m resuming on the 22nd, which is on Tuesday, by the special grace of God.

“I will be there, because the court did make the decision on that,” she said.
