A coalition of civil society organizations has urged Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to apologize to the Nigerian Senate following her suspension. The National Coalition of Civil Society Organizations in Nigeria (NACOSCO), comprising 35 groups, expressed support for the Senate’s decision and emphasized the importance of adhering to parliamentary procedures. They believe an apology would facilitate her reinstatement and uphold the Senate’s integrity.

Similarly, another coalition commended Senate President Godswill Akpabio’s leadership and advised Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan to acknowledge her misconduct. They highlighted that such actions are necessary to maintain the dignity of the legislative institution.

These developments follow Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s six-month suspension for alleged misconduct, including violations of Senate standing orders and accusations against the Senate President. The Senate’s Ethics and Privileges Committee recommended the suspension, emphasizing the need for decorum and adherence to established protocols within the legislative body.

The coalitions collectively stress that resolving the issue internally and respectfully is crucial for the stability of Nigeria’s democracy and the effective functioning of its legislative processes.
