SENATE HAS RIGHT TO SUSPEND NATASHA – COURT …Akpabio Was Right In Denying Her Opportunity To Speak During Plenary

The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, today affirmed the right of the Nigerian Senate to suspend and discipline any erring Senators
The court held that though the Senate has the power to punish any of its members who err, such sanction must not be excessive to deprive the constituents of their right to be represented.

The court also held that the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, was not wrong to have denied the plaintiff who was not on the official seat that was allotted to her, the opportunity to speak during plenary.
