Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has reacted to her suspension for six months by the Senate, saying the action was illegal.
Akpoti-Uduaghan posted the reaction on her Facebook page.
She said: “Against the culture of silence, intimidation and victim-shaming; my unjust suspension from the Nigerian Senate invalidates the principles of natural justice, fairness and equity
“The illegal suspension does not withdraw my legitimacy as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and I will continue to use my duly elected position to serve my constituents and country to the best of my ability till 2027 and beyond.”
