The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, have jointly condemned the Senate’s refusal to allow Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to resume legislative duties after serving the terms of her suspension. “The continued barring of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from performing her constitutional duties denies her constituents proper representation and raises concerns about respect for the rule of law,” the statement read. ‘Decision Unjustifiable After suspension’ — AfenifereSimilarly, Afenifere’s Secretary-General, Sola Ebiseni, described the Senate’s stance as a setback for democratic governance. “The refusal to allow her resumption is unjust not only to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan but also to her constituents, who deserve to be fully represented,” he stressed. Both the NLC and Afenifere urged the Senate leadership to reconsider its position in the interest of justice, democracy, and national stability.
