It is regrettable that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was ever elected to represent any constituency in Nigeria. Her today’s conduct at the National Assembly, where she arrived with a band of unruly youths, laid bare her lack of decorum and capacity for public office.
Despite losing her case in court, she filed an appeal and a motion for stay, yet blatantly disregarded the judgment’s binding orders. Her dramatic appearance at the Assembly, reportedly staged for a paid Arise TV coverage, was a calculated attempt to stir public sentiment rather than seek genuine redress.
In her media interview, she further displayed a glaring ignorance of the law. If she truly believes in her case, why not argue it in court instead of orchestrating spectacles for television and social media?
It is a sad reflection of our times that one individual seeks to undermine institutions for personal gain. Nigeria is watching.
