    FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

    SENATOR NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN WAS SUSPENDED FOR GROSS MISCONDUCT AND UNRULY BEHAVIOUR AND NOT AS A RESULT OF ALLEGATION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT/ASSAULT

    The Authority of the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria firmly rebuts the deliberate misinformation and false narratives being Circulated by certain media organizations regarding the six-month #suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan.

    Let it be unequivocally stated that Senator Uduaghan was suspended solely for her persistent acts of misconduct, blatant disregard for the provisions of the Senate Standing Orders 2023 (As Amended) and gross indiscipline- nothing more, nothing less.

    It has come to the attention of the Senate that some media reports are attempting to falsely suggest that Senator Uduaghan's suspension was due to allegations of sexual harassment. This is completely untrue, misleading, and a calculated attempt to distort the facts. If Senator Uduaghan had strictly followed our guiding principles, the Senate would have treated her petition based on merit in line with its practice. But she never obeyed the established practices of the institution where she was serving.

    Facts of the Suspension

    Senator Uduaghan's suspension was a decision of the Committee of the Whole Senate, following the submission of a report by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges. The report found her guilty of violating Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Senate Rules and recommended her immediate suspension.

    The disciplinary action was a response to her repeated violations of legislative decorum, including:

    1. Refusing to sit in her assigned seat during plenary on 25th February 2025, despite multiple pleas from the Minority Leader and other ranking Senators-an act of open defiance and disorderly conduct.

    2. Speaking without being recognized by the presiding officer, in clear violation of parliamentary practices and procedures on 25th February 2025.

    3. Engaging in unruly and disruptive behavior, obstructing the orderly conduct of Senate proceedings.

    4. Making abusive and disrespectful remarks against the leadership of the Senate.

    5. Defying and refusing to comply with the summons of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges mandated to investigate cases of misconduct.

    These actions represented a direct challenge to the Authority of the Senate and a violation of the Senate Standing Orders 2023 (As Amended) that govern the business of the Senate and the conduct of its members. The disciplinary measure was, therefore, necessary and justified to restore order and uphold the integrity of the Senate as the country's foremost democratic institution.

    On the Petition and Allegations

    Contrary to the false claims being circulated, Senator Uduaghan was NOT suspended for making any sexual harassment or for submitting a petition.

    Her petition was rightfully discountenanced because it failed to meet the clear and established procedural requirements for submitting petitions to the Senate. The rules of the Senate apply to all members without exception, and no petition-regardless of its subject-can be considered if it does not follow due process.

    To suggest that her suspension was linked to her petition is not only a distortion of facts but an intentional and malicious attempt to mislead the public.

    Condemnation of Misleading Media Reports

    The Senate strongly condemns the irresponsible and unethical reporting by some media organizations that have deliberately twisted the facts to suit a false narrative.

    This coordinated misinformation campaign is nothing more than an attempt to politicise a disciplinary action that was strictly based on clear violations of Senate Standing Orders 2023 (As Amended). It is reckless, misleading, and a disservice to the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who deserve truthful and factual reporting.

    We, therefore, urge all foreign correspondents and responsible media houses to correct these misrepresentations and avoid propagating falsehoods that undermine the integrity of Nigeria's legislative process.

    Conclusion

    The Senate remains committed to upholding discipline, order, and parliamentary ethics. No senator-regardless of status, gender, or political affiliation is above the rules of the Senate. Senator Uduaghan's suspension was the direct consequence of her actions and nothing else.

    We urge the public and the media to disregard any false reports suggesting otherwise and to always seek the truth before spreading politically motivated narratives.

  • I have a happy personality
    and a sad soul. I'm bold but shy. I love deeply, but sometimes feel heartless. I'm healing and hurting at the same time.
    I'm dedicated to growth, but I self sabotage. I'm trying to find peace within a lifetime of contradictions.

  • You can't expect kids to do everything simply because you, as a parent, "say so." They want and deserve explanations as much as adults do. If we don't take time to explain, kids will begin to wonder about our values and motives and whether they have any basis. Parents who reason with their kids allow them to understand and learn in a nonjudgmental way.

    Make your expectations clear. If there is a problem, describe it, express your feelings, and invite your child to work on a solution with you. Be sure to include consequences. Make suggestions and offer choices. Be open to your child's suggestions as well. Negotiate. Kids who participate in decisions are more motivated to carry them out.

  • 10 Kinds Of Men You Should Never Bring To Your Father For Marriage:

    If you're a smart and wise lady, there are various kinds of men you should never introduce to your family. The introduction can wait, if the man exhibits any or all of these traits!

    1. Don't introduce a stranger. Don't bring someone you don't know very well, simply because you're under pressure to marry.
    Never marry a stranger!

    2. Never introduce a man you don't know what he does for a living. If he is spending money but he's not working, report him to the Anambra State government .

    3. Never introduce a man that beats you.
    You should end the relationship, and not try to take it to another level. What you tolerate while dating, will amplify in marriage.

    4. Don't introduce a man that attacks / violates your core values as a lady. A man who doesn't respect your boundaries shouldn't have the privilege of meeting your father.

    5. Don't introduce a man that sleeps with your friends. He may sleep with your own sister one day. Don't bring a serial womanizer home, no matter how romantic he is.

    6. Don't introduce a jobless and lazy man.
    A lazy man is a man who has no plans, goals, vision and who is not motivated in life.

    7. Never introduce a man that his family and friends are forcing to marry you. If he's not excited about marrying you, don't introduce him to your father.

    8. Don't introduce a man that is only attracted to your physical qualities, for example, your shape.
    His love for you is superficial, it may not stand the test of time.

    9. Never introduce a man who has no regard for your faith, tribe, and culture. Marriage is both spiritual and cultural.

    10. Never introduce a man that hates his father.
    If he hates his father for no reason, you shouldn't bring him home to meet your father/family.

    I trust you will make the right choice!
