The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on Senate President Godswill Akpabio to immediately comply with a Federal High Court ruling and recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to the National Assembly. SERAP described the Senator’s suspension as a grave violation of the Nigerian Constitution and international human rights obligations.

SERAP urged the Senate to restore all of Akpoti-Uduaghan’s legislative rights, entitlements, and privileges, emphasizing the importance of the rule of law. This call follows a Federal High Court ruling in Abuja that nullified the six-month suspension imposed on Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, stating that the suspension was excessive and denied her constituents their right to representation. The court emphasized that while the Senate can discipline its members, such actions should not disenfranchise constituents.
