There was drama at the entrance of the National Assembly complex in Abuja earlier today as security operatives barred suspended Kogi Central lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, from gaining access to the premises.
The senator arrived at the gate accompanied by activist Aisha Yesufu, rights advocate Mama P, activist Randy, and a crowd of supporters, but was denied entry by security officials.
Yesufu, in a bid to intervene, confronted the officers stationed at the gate and challenged the order allegedly issued to block Natasha’s entry.
Meanwhile, the embattled Senator,Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of orchestrating a personal vendetta against her, using the Senate as a tool to silence her for speaking out against sexual harassment.
She insisted her suspension had been declared illegal by a Federal High Court, and that she remained a duly elected senator.
Addressing journalists at the gate to National Assembly Complex in Abuja, Natasha criticised reports suggesting that her resumption was halted due to a supposed appeal filed by the Senate.
