Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has taken a bold step, reporting Senate President Godswill Akpabio to the United Nations Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in New York.
This move comes after her suspension from the Nigerian Senate for allegedly violating Senate rules, following her petition against Akpabio for sexual harassment .
Natasha’s courage in speaking out against the powerful Senate President has earned her the nickname “lioness.” Her actions demonstrate that she will not be silenced or intimidated, and that she is determined to seek justice, no matter the cost.
By taking her case to the global stage, Natasha is sending a strong message that the Nigerian Senate’s handling of her case will not be swept under the rug. The present senate’s actions have indeed brought shame to the country, and it’s time for accountability .
Natasha’s speech at the Women in Parliament session was emotional, as she described her suspension as “illegal” and demanded justice. She expressed concerns about her safety, fearing that powerful forces in Nigeria might attempt to detain her in New York for speaking out .
The world is watching, and it’s clear that Senator Natasha will not back down. Her bravery is an inspiration to many, and her determination to seek justice will not be ignored.
