Nigeria: Oshiomhole Denies That Senators' Signatures Were Forged in Natasha's Suspension Saga
Oshiomhole said his comments were misrepresented and that no senator told him a signature was forged in Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension report.
- On Tuesday, Senator Adams Oshiomhole denied he alleged that signatures of lawmakers were forged in the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, stating such claims should be disregarded.
- The Nigerian Senate suspended Akpoti-Uduaghan for six months in March 2025 after the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, Code of Conduct and Public Petitions found her guilty of alleged misconduct and seating arrangement defiance.
- During a Monday interview on AIT's Politics Today, Oshiomhole responded to Senate Leader Distinguished Senator Bamidele Opeyemi's characterization of the suspension as the "lowest point of the three years of the 10th Senate."
- Oshiomhole clarified he only noted a committee member claimed attendance signatures were attached to the final report, emphasizing, "no Senator told me that their signature was forged."
- Expressing regret for any embarrassment caused to the institution, Oshiomhole affirmed the suspension issue has been put to rest and the Senate has moved on.
