A delegation of opposition party senators visited suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, at her home on Friday.
The delegation was led by Seriake Dickson, former governor of Bayelsa State and a member of the Senate’s Ethics and Privileges Committee—the same committee that recommended Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension.
Dickson shared a photo of the visit on his social media pages, explaining that he was absent from Senate proceedings on the day of Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension due to his engagement with tax reform bills.
Dickson further explained that after concluding the workshop, he led a delegation of opposition senators to visit Akpoti-Uduaghan and her husband at their home.
Dickson said that, as humans, senators have their low and high moments, “and it is a tradition for Senators to support each other during such moments.”
He said they offered advice on how to resolve the issues surrounding her suspension.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended on Thursday for six months after refusing to accept her newly assigned seat in the Senate chamber.
