THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has criticized Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, over the National Assembly’s move to stop the suspended kogi central senator Natasha Akpoti-uduaghan from returning to the Senate after the expiration of her six-month suspension.
The PDP, on Tuesday, said that the move was aimed at denying the people of Kogi Central senatorial district their voice in the National Assembly and weakening the opposition.
On September 4, 2025, Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was suspended on March 6, wrote to the leadership of the Assembly, notifying them of her plan to resume.
However, the Acting Clerk to the National Assembly, Yahaya Danzaria,in a reply wrote that her suspension was still active and tied to a pending case at the Court of Appeal.
The Senate will resume from a two-month recess on September 23.
