The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has urged the lawmaker
representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, to
prepare to resume her duties in the Senate.

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Debo
Ologunagba, the party condemned the attempt by the Clerk of the National
Assembly to bar Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan from resuming her role following the
six-month suspension imposed on her by the Senate President, Senator Godswill

The PDP described the action as a calculated attempt,
orchestrated by the Senator Akpabio-led All Progressives Congress, APC Senate
leadership, to abridge the right of representation of the people of Kogi
Central Senatorial District and deny them a voice at the nation’s highest
law-making body.

“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.

“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,” the
statement added.
