    Ex-Governor Dickson Leads Senators To Support Suspended Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan

    A former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has solicited support for Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.who was suspended from the Senate on Thursday.

    Leading a delegation of senators from opposition political parties to visit Natasha at her home on Friday, Dickson said his engagement with the tax reform bills kept him away from the Senate proceedings on the day of Natasha’s suspension.

    Dickson said as humans, senators have their low and high moments “and it is a tradition for Senators to support each other during these moments.”

    “The public may recall that, for the past three days, I was attending the three-day workshop on the Tax Reform Bills which started on Wednesday, 5th of March and ended this evening, March 7.

    “This is why I was not available yesterday to sit as a member of the Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, Privileges and Public Petitions in respect of the issues concerning our colleague Distinguished Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan’s suspension, haven been assured by the Committee Chairman that the hearing would hold on Wednesday the 11th of March for which notices had already been issued. I was not notified of the emergency seating yesterday.

    “This evening, after concluding the retreat, I led a delegation of some senators of opposition parties on a visit to our colleague Senator Natasha and met with her and her husband at their home.

    “We offered words of encouragement, prayers and advice on a quick resolution of the issues surrounding her suspension,” he said.

    “Having heard more from her and her husband for the first time, I will discuss with other colleagues on how to intervene and engage with the leadership of the senate to resolve the issues as soon as possible,” he added.

    Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended on Thursday for six months after she refused her new seat in the upper legislative chamber.

    The dispute escalated into allegations of sexual harassment by the Kogi senator against Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.

    Her suspension has sparked widespread debate and criticisms, particularly from women’s rights groups and civil society organisations.

    The Peoples Democratic Party has condemned Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension, saying the move reeks of a grand cover-up attempt from Akpabio.
