In a fresh twist to the ongoing crisis in Nigeria’s Senate, Senator Adams Oshiomhole has claimed that signatures of at least three senators on the report that led to the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan were forged.
The allegation, made by the former Edo State governor and current Senator representing Edo North, comes amid heightened tensions between Oshiomhole and Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, was suspended for six months in early 2025 following a Senate committee report on her conduct, which included allegations of unruly behavior and conflicts with the Senate leadership.

According to reports circulating from Senate proceedings and shared widely on social media, Oshiomhole declared during a session or related discussion that the document authorizing or supporting the suspension bore forged signatures. He reportedly pointed out discrepancies suggesting that not all listed senators had actually appended their signatures to the report.
