WELCOME TO KTNBIO

Popular rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, has berated Senate President Godswill Akpabio following his clash with Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti.

Yesufu said Akpabio, who she claimed should be in jail, is harassing the only two vocal female senators in the National Assembly.

Natasha and Akpabio have consistently clashed on the Senate floor.

Recall that the altercation began when Natasha discovered that her seat had been reassigned upon resumption of the Senate session.

Refusing to comply with the new arrangement, Natasha challenged the decision, sparking a heated exchange in the chamber.

The situation led to a heated clash between Natasha and the Senate President last Thursday.

In a viral video clip, Natasha could be seen challenging Akpabio, saying, “I’m not afraid of you.”

Following the face-off, Akpabio declared that the female lawmaker would face disciplinary action over her outburst regarding the reallocation of seats.

Aggrieved, Natasha instituted a ₦100 million legal action against the Senate President.

She dragged Akpabio to the Federal Capital Territory High Court for defaming her.

Reacting, Yesufu posted on X: *”We have only four female senators. Two are almost nonexistent.

“The vocal two are being harassed left, right, and center by Senator Akpabio, who should have been in jail if Nigeria had an incorruptible judiciary.”*

DAILY POST recalls that Akpabio also had an issue with another female senator in the past.

In December 2024, FCT Senator Ireti Kingibe walked out of the Senate chamber after Akpabio refused to entertain her motion.

Kingibe had notified the Senate of her motion on the need to probe the ongoing demolition in the nation’s capital, and it was agreed that the matter would be discussed the following day.

However, her motion was not listed on the order paper, prompting her to draw the attention of her colleagues to the matter.
