A video which emerged online show the moment the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, ordered that the lawmaker representing the Kogi Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, be ejected out of the Senate for disrupting the plenary session due to an unauthorized change of her seating arrangement.
The plenary was in progress when Chief Whip, Senator Mohammed Ali Monguno, raised a point of order regarding what he described as the “improper seating position” of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Before Monguno could finish his statement, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan erupted in a loud confrontation, prompting the Sergeant-at-Arms to intervene and attempt to escort her from the chamber.
In the midst of the turmoil, the Senate President’s efforts to restore order were met with resistance as the female senator demanded an explanation for the alteration of her seat without her approval.
The video which emerged online show some lawmakers attempting to pacify Natasha but she ignored while justifying the reason for her action.
