The President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), Tulia Ackson, has assured suspended Kogi Central lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, that necessary steps will be taken after considering both sides of the issue surrounding her suspension.
Ackson made this statement in a video obtained by Vanguard on Wednesday, following Senator Natasha’s appeal to the IPU and the United Nations (UN) for intervention in what she described as an unjust suspension.
During the Women in Parliament session at the IPU meeting, Senator Natasha called for justice and urged global democratic institutions to address what she termed as political victimization.
Speaking at the session, Natasha recounted her ordeal, stating: “I come with a heavy heart from Nigeria. But first, I’d like to apologise to honourable members—I am not here to bring shame to my country. I am here to seek help for the women of Nigeria. (Vanguard)
