Akpabio treated me like domestic staff – Senator Natasha

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of treating her like a servant and domestic staff following her resumption.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, who resumed on Tuesday after her six-month suspension, addressed journalists in her office at the National Assembly complex after it was reopened.

Speaking on her experience, the Kogi Central senator called the suspension period a time of survival.

“From the unjust suspension to the recall, we survived the blockade of roads, we survived the blackmail from the crazy lady on Facebook, it’s amazing what we had to survive.

“I give God Almighty the glory and my deepest appreciation to the good people of Kogi Central senatorial district, Nigerians at large, and to my husband. I pray all men support their wives like you have supported me.

“Sometimes, it’s good to put the institutions to the test, we can’t [cower] in the face of injustice, no one is more Nigerian us.

“Senator Akpabio is not more of a senator than I am, he is not the governor of this place and he treated me as if I was his servant or domestic staff in his house.

“It’s very unfortunate that at this time after so many years of democracy we will have a National Assembly been runned by such dictatorship, it’s totally unacceptable.

“As for me, I’m glad to be hear and even though we have been illegally suspended, no day have I hesitated in effectively carrying out my duties as a senator of Kogi Central to the very best of my capacity,” she said.
