Breaking: Senator Natasha Made Good Her Vow, Storms National Assembly
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Tuesday made good her vow to resume at the National Assembly despite the Senate’s insistence on her suspension.
The Kogi Central lawmaker, who rode in a black car, however, saw her convoy stopped by security operatives at the first gate of the National Assembly.
The car in front of her, carrying activist Aisha Yesufu, was also stopped from entering the National Assembly.
After some minutes, Senator Natasha alighted from her car and walked into the National Assembly premises in Abuja, accompanied by her supporters.
She was stopped again at the 2nd gate of the National Assembly and asked to turn back. However, the senator and her supporters make their way past the checkpoint only to meet a locked gate.
Last week, the lawmaker who is serving a six-month suspension by the upper lawmaking body had vowed to resume sitting after a court asked the Senate to recall her.
