The lawmaker representing Bayelsa West Senatorial District, Seriake Dickson, is backing the return of his colleague from Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, to the Senate.

Recall Natasha was suspended on March 6 after a heated argument with Senate leadership over a new seating arrangement, which she claimed was intentionally designed to undermine her.

It will also be recalled that hat the issue degenerated when she appeared on national television and accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of retaliating against her for allegedly rejecting his sexual advances, an allegation Akpabio has denied.

Meanwhile, Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on July 4, ordered the Senate to reinstate Natasha.

Senator Dickson, while addressing newsmen, said that he never supported her suspension and hopes she will resume her duties in the Senate as soon as possible.

“I sympathize with Natasha. I have never been in support of any legislative activities that suspend members for long periods of time.

“The Senate leadership and my colleagues know my position on it is anchored on the law and the constitution and my personal conviction. Senators are here to agree and disagree in the national interest.

“So, we have to tolerate and respect one another even when you have differences of opinion. I was not there when it was announced, but that’s not my concern.

“My concern is that the sooner she resumes her seat to perform and continue to perform her constitutional responsibilities. That’s my interest and I have been told that the court has decided on it,” he said.

Hajia Hansatu Zannah, distinguished member of the Governing Council of the African Union Agenda 2063 and Ambassador Plenipotentiary, has extended heartfelt commendations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON, as they mark three years in office.

“This remarkable milestone signifies an era of purposeful leadership that has brought notable triumphs to our nation under President Tinubu’s administration,” Hajia Hansatu remarked during an engagement with select political correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday.

She praised President Tinubu for his unwavering commitment to national unity, economic transformation, and the strengthening of Nigeria’s global reputation. Reflecting on the administration’s achievements, she highlighted progress in infrastructure development, anti-corruption efforts, and initiatives designed to stimulate sustainable economic growth.

“President Tinubu’s three years in office have been defined by a resolute pursuit of policies aimed at revitalizing our economy and enhancing the quality of life for all Nigerians. His dedication to infrastructure expansion, healthcare improvement, and educational advancement is commendable and lays a strong foundation for future prosperity,” she stated.

Hansatu, a seasoned media personality and communication strategist, emphasized the importance of visionary leadership in navigating Nigeria’s current challenges. She expressed optimism that the administration would continue to consolidate its successes while addressing pressing issues such as security, unemployment, and economic stability.

“In these challenging times, Nigeria requires a leader with vision, resilience, and a profound understanding of our diverse cultural and socio-economic landscape. President Tinubu has demonstrated these qualities through his inclusive approach and steadfast dedication to uplifting every segment of society,” she added.

Calling for collective responsibility, Hajia Hansatu urged Nigerians to support the administration’s efforts and remain united in confronting national challenges.

“As this administration celebrates this milestone, let us recommit ourselves to the values of hard work, unity, and patriotism. Together, we can build a Nigeria that is strong, prosperous, just, and equitable—a nation admired across the world,” she said.

She further noted that President Tinubu’s leadership style is distinguished by his detribalized disposition, drawing parallels with the late Chief Moshood Abiola’s inclusive politics. “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has embraced every tribe and religion in Nigeria. His compassion, generosity, and inclusive governance inspire trust and confidence in his leadership,” she affirmed.

Hansatu concluded by reaffirming her personal commitment to supporting President Tinubu and Vice President Shettima in their mission to advance Nigeria’s welfare and development. She pledged to continue serving as an exemplary ambassador both at home and abroad, dedicated to initiatives that promote national progress and unity.
