Suspended Kogi Central senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has
accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of frustrating a suit she filed to
stop her suspension.
Natasha accused Akpabio of petitioning the National Judicial
Council, NJC, and the Department of State Services, DSS, against Justice Obiora
Egwuatu of the Abuja Federal High Court.
She claimed that Akpabio’s petition made Justice Egwuatu to
step down from her case.
On March 4, Justice Egwuatu issued an interim order stopping
the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions from
proceeding with disciplinary actions against Akpoti-Uduaghan.
However, the judge later recused himself from the case.
Addressing her followers in her hometown, Okehi, Kogi State,
Natasha said: “Justice Egwuatu was supposed to sit, take all the pleadings and
decide, which I believe would have been in our favor, and that means we would
have had the suspension quashed, and I would have resumed duties at the senate.
“But what happened, as soon as the judge resumed he recused
himself from the case. And why was that, the moment the case was assigned to
him, the Senate President wrote a petition to the NJC and DSS against the
judge.
“And we all know why, maybe the judge refused to play game
and that’s why they refused to take him out.
“Even though we say the judiciary is corrupt, there are some
good judges but they get harassed to do bad things.”
