The Senate has said the embattled senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, cannot resume yet.
In a letter issued by the Acting Clerk to the National Assembly, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, dated September 4, 2025, the Red Chamber stated that her six-month suspension remains in force pending the outcome of a Court of Appeal case instituted against the Senate by Akpoti-Uduaghan.
While acknowledging the lawmaker’s notification of resumption, the Senate rejected the move, clarifying that her suspension took effect on March 6, 2025, and emphasised that the matter is still subjudice.
According to the letter, the Senate would only review her suspension after the Appeal Court’s verdict, adding that no administrative action can be taken before the pronouncement.
“The matter remains sub judice, and until the judicial process is concluded, no administrative action can be taken to facilitate your resumption,” the letter read in parts.
Recall that Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended in March 2025 following a Senate resolution.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended on March 6, 2025, following allegations of insubordination after she rejected a change of her designated seat during plenary.
Her counsel, Victor Giwa, had earlier said she is set to return to the National Assembly later this month after completing her six-month suspension.
