The lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, on Tuesday, returned to her office at the National Assembly, six months after she was suspended by the leadership of the Senate.
The senator entered her office, located in Suite 2.05 of the Senate Wing, after it was opened by the Deputy Director, Sergeant-at-Arms, Alabi Adedeji.
“For me, I am glad to be here,” she said in her office for the first time in six months.
“Even though we had been illegally suspended, no day have I hesitated in effectively carrying out my duties as the senator of Kogi Central to the very best of my capacity,” she said in her office for the first time in six months,” the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator added.
Although the Senate is currently on recess and is expected to resume plenary on October 7, 2025, her supporters cheered and danced as they accompanied her from the FCT High Court, where she appeared in a case of alleged defamation filed against her by the Federal Government, to the NASS Complex.
The case was instituted on behalf of Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello.
