Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 27838, member: 2262"] Two Nigerian political groups have blasted the Senate for suspending Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan. The CNPP and CNCSOs believe this quick punishment aims to shut her up completely. They demanded Senate President Godswill Akpabio step down within seven days. If he stays put, they promised major street protests and help from international friends. The official statement came from CNPP's James Ezema and CNCSO's Alhaji Ali Abacha, who worked together. They claim the Senate acted with clear bias and jumped over normal procedures everyone should follow. These groups think the real reason behind the six-month suspension is Natasha filing sexual harassment papers against Akpabio. They see the whole thing as nothing but payback. The Senate Ethics folks moved ahead with their punishment despite Judge Obiora Egwuatu telling them to stop. The Federal High Court had already blocked any action after Natasha's legal team filed emergency papers. The Senate totally brushed off this legal order and suspended her anyway. Both groups pointed out how strangely fast the Senate wrapped up its investigation, talked about it, and approved everything. Their statement directly asks Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele what made this case need such rushed treatment. They believe this speed shows the process was rigged from the start. As a fix, these groups want a bigger investigation team with more members. They asked for every single meeting to be shown live on TV channels across Nigeria and around the world for complete transparency. [/QUOTE]
