Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North, has made a startling claim regarding the suspension of Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. During an interview on AIT, he alleged that the signatures of some senators were falsified to push through the disciplinary action.
Oshiomhole stated that several lawmakers whose names appeared on the committee report later denied signing it. He specifically mentioned Senator Ireti Kingibe of the Federal Capital Territory, who reportedly expressed shock upon learning her name was included among endorsers of the document.
The former Edo State governor explained that committee reports typically require signatures from members who agree with the findings. Those who disagree can choose not to sign or abstain entirely. However, he noted that in this case, some senators claimed their names were listed without their consent.
This revelation comes after Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele described Natasha’s suspension as one of the most regrettable actions taken by the current Senate. Oshiomhole’s remarks have added a new layer of controversy to the ongoing political drama.
