Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has requested for live television broadcast of her appearance for probe proceedings by the Ethics and Disciplinary Committee of the Senate directed to probe her.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan was referred to the Senate’s Ethics and Disciplinary Committee following her face-off with President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio over her seating arrangement which was changed without her being informed.
The vibrant female lawmaker in a post across social media platforms on Thursday, February 27, 2025, stressed that Nigerians have a right to witness the process.
Akpoti-Uduaghan however, said that while she was ready to face the panel, would not allow the matter to be handled behind closed doors.
She explained that she deliberately refrained from speaking publicly on the issue and other developments in the Senate, but had now decided to break her silence.
The outspoken senator urged Nigerians to follow the proceedings closely, stressing that she would push for full transparency.
Akpoti-Uduaghan wrote; “Good morning courageous people of Kogi Central, Kogi State and Nigeria. This petition came to my notice a few hours ago.
“In as much as I have refrained from publicly speaking on the matter and a lot of occurrences at the Senate under Senate President Akpabio, it’s about time I break my silence.
“Arise News, set a date and I shall be in your studio in person. Spare no questions.
“And to Nigerians, please be sure to join the probe which I shall insist would be covered live.
“The next few days and weeks shall be interesting but will shape the standard and quality of Nigeria’s leadership,” she said.
