Senator Yemi Adaramodu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, has accused suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of engaging in skit making and content creation.
Adaramodu made these remarks while addressing the incident involving Senator Natasha’s attempt to resume plenary on Tuesday, despite her ongoing suspension.
Natasha, suspended for six months following her accusation of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, had tried to return to legislative duties. She argued that her resumption was backed by a ruling from the Abuja Federal High Court.
However, her entry into the National Assembly complex was blocked. In response, she pledged to appeal the matter for further legal clarification.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Senator Adaramodu remarked:
“The National Assembly at large has a lot of roles to play. We are legislators and lawmakers, not spectators to be watching skit making and content creation.
Initially I said all these episodes and saga is all about content creation, now that the content has been created, it’s now degenerating into a season film.
We are not interested, we are lawmakers not actors, we are not interested in all these kinds of things.
Even when any litigant goes to court and gets judgement, either the person feels that this is an order when that is not an order, the litigant does not enforce the order by himself or herself.
There are court bailiffs who will serve orders on those that should be served as prescribed by the court.
I know that Nigerians know that this is another skit making and a continuation of the content making episode by our own colleague.”
As both camps stand firm on their positions, the situation continues to raise questions about due process, legislative decorum, and the growing intersection of politics and public spectacle within Nigeria’s democratic institutions.
