Two of the eight Senators that had been suspended since the commencement of the Fourth Republic in 1999 are members of the current 10th National Assembly, which was inaugurated less than two years ago. Sunday Aborisade reports.
The six months suspension slammed on the Kogi Central Senatorial District Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has continued to generate mixed reactions across the various various segments of the Nigerian society and in the international communities because of the controversy surrounding the action.
Some analysts who had spoken out on the decision of the Senate were of the view that even if Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan had erred by speaking from the seat she was removed from, slamming a six month suspension on her was outrageous and had exposed the intolerant nature of the leadership of the 10th Senate.
