The Senate has dismissed allegations by Senator Adams Oshiomhole that signatures of some lawmakers were forged or improperly included in the report that recommended the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, describing the claim as unfounded and a product of mischief.
The Senate Spokesman, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, who spoke with our correspondent on Tuesday, said the disciplinary action against the Kogi Central senator followed due process and was openly handled on the floor of the Senate.
Adaramodu said the Senate had clearly established that any lawmaker who violates its rules would face consequences, stressing that the matter involving Akpoti-Uduaghan was discussed publicly.
He said, “Senator Natasha was sanctioned for violating the Senate Rules. We made it clear that if anyone fails to abide by the rules, there will be consequences.
“The matter was openly tabled at plenary. Journalists were there, everybody was there, and the proceedings were conducted in the open.
