Oby Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education, has described the six-month suspension slammed on the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, by the Senate as a “vicious abuse of power”.
She took to X on Thursday, March 6, said instead of probing the s£xual harassment allegations levelled by Natasha against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, the red chambers “decided to choose the ignoble path of vicious abuse of power and desecration of our public institution”.
She wrote: “Did I just hear a voice of a Senator say : ‘She’s not coming back’ to Senator @NatashaAkpoti? Wonderful.
“When men because of little power fleetingly acquired start speaking like they are God, we all must remember what History reveals of their kind.
“Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. You have inspired a Generation. You have inspired all credible citizens. You. Will. Never. Walk. Alone.”
Ezekwesili added: “* Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Won Today*
“That was the most they could do- collectively abuse their powers. As always.
“Natasha is holding strong. Really strong.
“*Today is NOT Forever* as I have always said in this country and been proven right often enough.
“All reasonable Nigerians should be proud of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan
“She sat dignified to the end, in a room filled with men who collectively bullied her for daring to speak up for herself.
“Nigerian Women and all Real Men of goodwill should draw profound inspiration from her stoicism.
“There’s plenty of work ahead for all who believe in this Cause of unearthing the Truth on this issue.”
