Natasha’s attempt to resume is just another episode in her series of skit-making — Senate Spokesperson
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, has slammed suspended Kogi Central lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, accusing her of turning her attempt to resume Senate duties into another act of skit-making.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, Adaramodu described her resumption attempt as a theatrical display, implying it was aimed more at generating viral content than fulfilling legislative responsibilities.
“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”, he said
He added that what began as political grandstanding had now evolved into a full-blown drama series.

“Initially, I said all these episodes and saga are all about content creation. Now that the content has been created, it’s degenerating into a season film,” he said.
Adaramodu further maintained that any court judgment regarding Natasha’s suspension or resumption must follow due process.
He emphasised that self-enforcement of any ruling is not allowed under the law.
“Even if someone gets a court judgment, the enforcement must be carried out through legal channels. Court bailiffs serve orders — litigants don’t enforce them themselves,” he explained.
Senator Yemi Adaramodu concluded by stating that the Senate had no interest in what he described as Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s ongoing “content creation episodes.”
Akpoti-Uduaghan had claimed that a court ruling nullified her six-month suspension, asserting her right to resume legislative duties. However, the Senate has yet to officially acknowledge the court decision or permit her return to plenary.
According to reports, Natasha arrived at the National Assembly on Tuesday on foot after security personnel denied her convoy entry into the complex.
