The
Senate clerk had sent a letter to the suspended senator saying she
cannot resume after the completion of her six-months suspension.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has slammed the Godswill
Akpabio-led Senate over moves to stop Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan
from resuming at the Senate after what it called an unjust six months’
suspension imposed on her by the Senate leadership.
Recall that the Senate clerk had sent a letter to the suspended
senator saying she cannot resume after the completion of her six-months
suspension since the matter is in court and until the legal process is
completed, she cannot resume for her legislative activities in the red
chamber.
In a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Debo
Ologunagba, the party said the reported action by the clerk smacked of a
‘calculated attempt being orchestrated by the Senator Godswill
Akpabio-led All Progressives Congress (APC) Senate leadership to breach
the right of representation of the people of Kogi Central Senatorial
District and deny them a voice at the highest law-making body in the
country.’
PDP in its statement said the attempt to use the National Assembly
establishment against an elected Senator in gross violation of the
provisions of the Constitution and Standing Rules of the Senate is
highly provocative and constitutes a clear and present danger to
democracy and overall stability of our country.
“It also comes as parts of the antics being deployed severally
by the APC-controlled Senate and the Federal Government to suffocate the
opposition which further confirms the creeping totalitarianism in our
country under the APC government,” Ologungaba said in a statement.
He said the reported action by the Clerk of the National Assembly
against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan further brings to the fore the
allegations of attacks on the right of women and sustained attempts to
stifle their voices as witnessed in the various accusations of
harassment against women levelled against the current Senate President,
Senator Godswill Akpabio over the years.
“The PDP demands that the Senate President should come clean on
the various allegations instead of seeking to use the National Assembly
establishment to further harass, intimidate and keep Senator
Akpoti-Uduaghan away from the Senate.
The extreme persecution of six months suspension unjustly
imposed on Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, contrary to the Rules of the Senate
is more than enough and the PDP stands with the people of Kogi Central
and all well-meaning Nigerians in condemning this unwarranted renewed
attack on Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Our Party strongly cautions the Clerk of the National Assembly
to withdraw the said letter and play by the rules by being neutral as a
bureaucrat and not allow himself to be politically entangled and used as
a tool to undermine democracy and the Rule of Law in the National
Assembly and Nigeria.Nigerian fashion
The PDP calls on the International Community, Democracy
Institutions, Right Advocacy Groups and other democracy development
partners to rise up in condemnation of this renewed attack on Senator
Akpoti-Uduaghan.
While charging Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan to discountenance the
reported letter by the Clerk of the National Assembly and get ready to
resume at the Senate, the PDP demands that the Senate leadership ensures
that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is allowed to resume her duties and
perform her roles as an elected Senator of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria unhindered,” PDP said
