Mistakes of the Senate Court of Senatus Senator Natasha, urged the withdrawal

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday blamed the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uuduaghan for six months.

Judge Binta Nyako who described the suspension as “excessive” asked the senate to remember parliamentary members who represent Kogi Central.

The senator that was fought was suspended for six months by the Senate on March 6, after a report from the Senate Ethics and Special Committee found his mistake because of his mistakes after his dispute with the President of the Senate Godswill Akpabio, but when giving today’s assessment, the judge who was in charge, Judge Binta Nyako, described the postponement of six months as a Senator. Suspended it. Suspended it. Suspended it. Senate Asia.

Judge Nyako also blamed the provision of chapter 8 of the Senate Permanent Regulation and Part 14 of the Legislative Law, Powers & Privileges Act, stated both as excessive outreach, emphasized that the two laws failed to determine the maximum period that a member of parliament that served could be suspended from the office.

According to the judge, because parliament members have a total of 181 days to sit in each legislative circle, the six-month suspension submitted to Akpoti-Uuduaghan “is similar to pushing him away from his responsibilities to his constituents for around 180 days.”

However, he argues that although the senate has the power to punish one of its members who make mistakes, such sanctions should not be excessive to eliminate their rights constituents to be represented.

Judge Nyako was the same as rejecting Akpabio’s opinion that the court did not have a jurisdiction to entertain a lawsuit which he said was bordered by the internal affairs of the senate.

Previously in the verdict, Judge Nyako had found Senator Natasha guilty of insult for violating court orders by publishing satirical apologies to Akpabio on his Facebook page on April 7.

Therefore, the court imposed a N5M fine and ordered him to issue an apology in two national dailys within seven days
