Suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduagha, has threatened to drag the Clerk of the National Assembly, Kamorudeen Ogunlana, to court if she is prevented from resuming plenary on Monday.
The warning was contained in a letter dated September 10, 2025, and signed by her counsel, Chief Michael Numa (SAN).
According to the letter, Natasha accused the National Assembly leadership of flouting a valid court order that directed her reinstatement. She vowed to seek legal redress against any attempt to block her from taking her seat.
“Take notice that failure to comply by Monday, 15th September 2025, will leave us with no alternative but to initiate proceedings against you personally and in your official capacity,” the letter read in part.
Her lawyer further argued that the refusal of the National Assembly to obey judicial pronouncements amounted to a violation of the Constitution and the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.
The suspended senator also warned that she would initiate contempt charges and disciplinary measures against the Clerk if he persisted in what she described as an unconstitutional blockade.
“We strongly advise that you reconsider your untenable stance and comply with the Constitution and extant judicial orders,” the letter added.
Natasha, who has consistently maintained that her suspension was politically motivated, insisted that any obstruction of her return would not only undermine the rule of law but could also trigger a breach of peace in the polity.
