Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan accuses Senate President Godswill Akpabio of orchestrating her removal to silence her after she raised a matter of privilege during a Senate session.

She alleges that Akpabio acted beyond his powers by ordering her suspension unilaterally and retaliated due to a formal petition she submitted against the Senate leadership.

Natasha also claims that Akpabio pressured her for political or financial returns as Chair of the Senate Committee on Local Content, which she refused, leading to further conflict.

Her revelations highlight broader systemic issues of lobbying, coercion, and undue pressure among senators, sparking calls for accountability and reform within the 10th National Assembly.
