Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has praised Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for courageously challenging her suspension from the Senate, describing her action as a bold assertion of her rights and a victory for democracy.
DAILY POST recalls that Senator Natasha challenged her six-month suspension before the High Court, where Justice Binta Nyako delivered the judgment on Friday.
She ruled that the suspension was excessive and deprived the lawmaker’s constituents of their right to representation.
In a statement posted on his official Facebook page on Friday, Atiku also commended Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja for what he called a courageous ruling that lifted what he termed the “obnoxious” suspension imposed on the senator representing Kogi Central.
“I also hail Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan for challenging the illegality of her suspension by not sleeping on her rights in a chamber where women are already vulnerable. There’s no price that is too great in asserting one’s rights,” the former Vice President added.
