ZION B-BC
NEWSLETTER.
A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria. {Vol. 14. NO 594. 9th March 2025} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!
SENATOR NATASHA – THE DOGGED KOGI AMAZON WILL WIN AKPABIO HANDS DOWN!
In the November 2019 Kogi State Gubernatorial Election that confirmed the second bid of Yahaya Bello as Governor, Natasha Hadiza Akpoti was the female Social Democratic Party Candidate in that contest! The entire political temperature in the build- up to, and during that election that took place on Saturday 16th November was outrageously hostile to Natasha and her Party!
In Our Zion B-BC Newsletter, Volume 8. No.327 of 17th November 2019, titled: “WHO’S AFRAID OF NATASHA – THE INDOMITABLE AMAZON OF KOGI?”; We unequivocally condemned all acts of harassment, intimidation and the orchestrated assault meted to that only female Candidate in the election! In 2023, when she decided to run for a Senate position to represent Kogi Central, she faced similar vilification through diabolical machinations of Bello’s Administration but pulled through! Now it is the turn of Mr. Godswill Akpabio to demand “a pound of flesh” by way of “alleged sexual harassment”? Godswill Akpabio was the “Very Common Women-Friendly Governor” of Akwa Ibom State who held sway 2007-2015, enjoyed immense immunity and thereafter had a four year stint at the Nigerian Senate representing his State’s North West District 2015-2019. He jumped ship from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Federal level, got a job in 2020 as Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
JOY NUNIEH’S ALLEGATION OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AGAINST AKPABIO!
On July 13, 2020, Joy Nunieh, a former Acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), alleged that she slapped Godswill Akpabio for sexually harassing her.
Nunieh made the allegation during an interview on Arise TV. Akpabio, the incumbent Senate President, was minister of Niger Delta affairs at the time. During the interview, Nunieh said the incident occurred at Akpabio’s Guest House in Abuja. The Ex-Acting MD had said her reaction to the harassment proved her intolerance for “nonsense” as a woman from Rivers state. Akpabio had denied the allegation through a statement issued by his media aide.
AKPABIO ALSO DENIED NATASHA’S ALLEGATIONS AND HAS SUSPENDED HER FOR SIX MONTHS!
But the Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, will challenge in court the six-month suspension slammed on her following her face-off with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, over SEATING ARRANGEMENTS in the RED CHAMBER. Her legal counsel Mr. Victor Giwa, dismissed the Senate resolution as a violation of a court order while The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), and opposition parties similarly berated the red chamber for not giving Akpoti-Uduaghan ample time to present her sexual harassment complaint against Akpabio. The Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges acted in violation of a court order that allegedly restrained it from taking further action on the matter pending the determination of a motion on notice. The suspension is therefore illegal, null, void and of no effect because there is a court order that restrained the Committee from taking further action. THE UNETHICAL ETHICS COMMITTEE disobeyed a valid court order that was served on them, and has put the SENATE into great disrepute!
Natasha’s Counsel said fresh petition would be filed in court to seek redress for the embattled Legislator. He further said that the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria supersedes the Senate Standing Orders, adding that every citizen had the right to seek redress in court when their civil rights are breached. “Section 6, subsection 6 of the Constitution grants every citizen the right to seek redress when their civil rights are violated.” He further said that Senator Natasha has complied because her suspension is an attempt to silence her for alleging wrongdoing against the Senate President, which amounts to a breach of her right to a fair hearing.
THE DRACONIAN “SENTENCE” ON NATASHA!
The Senate imposed a six-month suspension on the lawmaker without pay over what it called the breach of its Standing Orders following her claim of sexual harassment, an allegation that Akpabio denied.
In an earlier interview with Arise Television on February 28, 2025, the Kogi Senator, who made headlines the previous week after a public dispute with the Senate President over seating arrangements in the Senate, accused Akpabio of making sexual advances towards her. Her sexual harassment complaint was referred to a 14-Man Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions for disciplinary review, which later recommended her suspension.
The seven-point recommendations are as follows:
1. That the Senate do suspend Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for six months for her total violation of Senate standing rules, bringing the presiding officer and the entire Senate to public opprobrium.
2. That for the Senate to consider lifting or reducing the duration of the suspension, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan shall submit a written apology to the Senate before reconsideration.
3. That the Senate suspends Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan with effect from March 6, 2025, from all legislative activities.
4. That her office be locked up for the duration of her suspension and that she hands over all Senate properties in her possession to the Clerk of the National
5. That for the duration of her suspension, she must not be seen within the vicinity of the Senate or the National Assembly, including her staff.
6. That her salaries and allowances, including those of her legislative aides, be suspended, and that all security details assigned to her be withdrawn for the period of her suspension.
7. That during her suspension, she be barred from representing herself locally and internationally as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
THE SENATE MUST BE SCRAPPED TO PAVE WAY FOR THE UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION FOR NATION BUILDERS !
What other proofs do the CITIZENS need to conclude that the Senate has been the very WASTEFUL INVESTMENT OF THE NIGERIAN PROJECT from 1999 to date!
*Nigerian Senators live larger than life and the President addresses himself as the Senate Landlord!
*The Senate flouts the Constitution by:
(a) Fixing it’s own salaries, allowances etc, contrary to the constitutional provision that mandates only Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), should fix such remunerations for all Tiers, including Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAS), of the Federal Government.
(b) Regularly padding (inflating), all annual Federal Government Budgets with BILLIONS OF NAIRA at their whims and caprices and always getting away with such brazen robbery of the Treasury Single Account (TSA)!
(c) Individual collection of CONSTITUENCIES ALLOCATIONS and “executing” such CONTRACTS personally!
(d) Suspending “erring” Legislators contrary to the Constitution and flagrantly disobeying lawful court orders!
(e) Seven Senators before Natasha had been suspended and in spite of the fact that such abuse of power had been reversed, the leadership seems to be deaf of hearing and understanding!
The ball is the court of President Bola Tinubu if any of his muddled economic reforms would come to fruition BUT time is not on his side!! He has between now and 29th May 2025, to make the bold move as demanded by all well-meaning Nigerians.
NATASHA AKPOTI UDUAGHAN WILL WIN AT THE COURTS AND MR. SENATE LANDLORD WILL BE CAST OUT INTO THE OBLIVION OF HISTORY!
