The Senator representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan had returned to the Red Chamber on Tuesday six-month suspension from the Senate.
Her arrival drew the attention of her colleagues, several of whom, including Senators Abdul Ningi (PDP–Bauchi), Ali Ndume (APC–Borno), and Aminu Tambuwal (PDP–Sokoto), exchanged pleasantries with her as she settled into her seat.
The lawmaker walking in as Senate President Godswill Akpabio was delivering his address of welcome to lawmakers.
Akpoti-Uduaghan’s return comes after months of controversy surrounding her suspension, which was handed down in March 2025 over alleged misconduct.
The suspension followed her protest against the Senate leadership’s decision to reassign her seat, a move she claimed was unfair and politically motivated.
In previous interviews, the Kogi Central senator had insisted that she owed no apology to the Senate leadership for standing her ground, maintaining that she only acted in defence of her rights and the dignity of her office.
