I’ll Return To Senate On Tuesday – Senator Natasha Declares Following Court Verdict

The embattled female lawmaker disclosed this while addressing members of her constituents who were celebrating the court order.

Suspended Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has announced that she will resume her legislative duties in the Senate on Tuesday, July 8.

The embattled female lawmaker disclosed this while addressing members of her constituents who were celebrating the court order.

While speaking to them, she said: “I thank you for your support. I am glad we are victorious today. We shall resume in the Senate on Tuesday by the grace of God.”

Recall that last Friday, July 4,Justice Anita Nyako of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja fined Akpoti-Uduaghan the sum of N5 million after finding her guilty of contempt of court over a Facebook post deemed to have violated an earlier court order.

The court also nullified her six-month suspension from the Senate, declaring it excessive, unconstitutional, and an infringement on the rights of her constituents.
