As the bid to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from the Senate begins to gather momentum, supporters of the embattled Senator have begged constituents to not give in to the process.
ebirareporters.com reports that filing of a petition, which is the first stage of the recall process, has commenced. Upon completion, the petition will be submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
A former member of the House of Representatives, Abdulrahaman Badamsiuy in a public statement, begged the people to not sign any form.
“You are hereby notified of a plot by some people to initiate a recall process of our Distinguished Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from the Nigerian Senate,
“Please, do not sign any form or give any information on your voter’s card to anybody in the guise of any empowerment or some money.
“Their aim is to decieve you into recalling a performing and outstanding Senator and daughter of Ebiraland,” he said.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended for six months by the Senate for gross misconduct and unruly behavior, actions according to the lawmakers, violated Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Senate rules.
The Kogi Central Senator would later accuse the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio of suppression and mistreatment after she turned down his sexual advances, filing a petition right before her suspension.
