Because Natasha’s reintegration is waiting – Senate

On the Senate Sunday he said that he has not yet obtained the real certified copy of the judgment delivered on Friday by the judge Binta Nyako of the High Court Federal Abuja, who presumably ordered the call of Senator Natasha Akpoti – Uduaghan (Kogi Central), a suspension beaten on her on March 6, 2025.

On Friday, judge Nyako had declared that although the Senate has the right to regulate none of his members in error, but six months beaten with Senator Uduaghan was excessive and contradicts the provisions of the establishment of 1999 on the need for members of the components through the 109 districts senators for senators who represented them in the Senate.

The judge in light of the provision urged the Senate to remember Senator Uduaghan from the suspension which is exactly four months now.

Senator Uduaghan regarding the judgment, he turned to his supporters in Abuja on Saturday and informed them who will resume in the Senate on Tuesday 6 July 2025.

But the Senate through a declaration signed by its president for the media and public affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramod (Ekiti South), said that no directive was given to Senator Natasha to resume since then, the real certified copy of the sentence has yet to be received from it.

The declaration states: “The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria recognizes that the sentence was issued on July 4, 2025 by the Federal High Court, Abuja, in the cause established by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Auduaghan.

“However, the Senate has not yet been served with the real certified copy (CTC) of this sentence. Our legal representatives, which were present at the procedure, confirmed that the complete judgment was not read in the open court.

“Consequently, we have formally requested the CTC to allow an in-depth revision and an informed determination of the appropriate legal response, in particular in the light of the uncertainty that surrounded if the Court made any direct order by canceling the suspension of the akpoti-auduaghan senator.

“Since no part of the case has been officially served the registered order of the judgment, nobody can impose any order or perceived relief.

“Pending the receipt and examination of the CTC and to act on the consultant’s advice, the Senate refrains from making any measures that may affect their legal position.

“The Senate remains committed to supporting the state of law and will act strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to fully clarify the statements of the Court.

“We urge the public to remain patient and ensured the fidelity of the Senate at the right trial”.
