NEW YORK, USA – Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan on Tuesday took her case against the Senate President Godswill Akpabio to a global stage following her suspension from the Red Chamber.
Speaking at the Women in Parliament session held at the Inter-Parliamentary Union Meeting (IPU) at the United Nations in New York, Senator Natasha said she is seeking justice and the intervention of global democratic institutions.
The lawmaker asked for justice over what she described as injustice meted out to her. She described her suspension from the Senate as “illegal.”
After her speech, she expressed worry about her security. The Kogi Central lawmaker claimed there are indications that she may be held against her will in New York for speaking up on the issue at the global event by “the powers that be” from Nigeria.
