…says Senate chose “the ignoble path of vicious abuse of power
By Newsmata
Ex-Nigerian Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili, has said the Nigerian Senate desecrated the Red Chamber as the path they chose in suspending Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was dishonourable.
She expressed her views on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, criticising the Senate for failing to investigate the sexual harassment allegations made by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Instead, she said, the Senate chose “the ignoble path of vicious abuse of power and desecration of our public institution.”
Investigate the accusation of sexual harassment is all that sensible Nigerians have collectively asked the @NGRSenate to do, but no, they have decided to choose the ignoble path of vicious abuse of power and desecration of our Public Institution @nassniger.
“When men, because of little power fleetingly acquired, start speaking like they are God, we all must remember what history reveals of their kind,” she wrote.
Addressing Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan directly, Ezekwesili added: “Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, you have inspired a generation. You have inspired all credible citizens. You will never walk alone.”
She also called on the Senate to investigate the allegations against its President.
“Investigate the accusation of sexual harassment — that is all that sensible Nigerians have collectively asked the @NGRSenate to do. But no, they have decided to choose the ignoble path of vicious abuse of power and desecration of our public institution,” she wrote.
Did I just hear a voice of a Senator say: “She’s not coming back” to Senator @NatashaAkpoti? (TheNewsGuru)
