The Nigerian Senate has told the lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, that she could not resume office yet, despite completing her six-month suspension. 

In a letter by the Acting Clerk to the National Assembly, Dr. Yahaya Danzaria, dated September 4, 2025, the Senate acknowledged Akpoti-Uduaghan’s notification of her intended return on September 4, the date she claimed marked the end of her suspension.

According to the Senate, Natasha’s six-month suspension remains in force pending the outcome of a Court of Appeal case instituted against the Senate by Akpoti-Uduaghan.

“The matter remains sub judice, and until the judicial process is concluded, no administrative action can be taken to facilitate your resumption,” the letter read in parts.

According to the letter, the Senate would only review her suspension after the court’s pronouncement.
