Nigeria TV Info Senate Denies Forgery Allegation in Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s Suspension, Replies Oshiomhole

The Nigerian Senate has dismissed allegations made by former Edo State Governor and Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, claiming that signatures were forged in the suspension process involving Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The upper legislative chamber insisted that all procedures leading to the disciplinary action against Akpoti-Uduaghan were duly followed and that no document was falsified. Senate officials described the allegations as misleading and capable of undermining the integrity of the National Assembly.

The controversy erupted after Oshiomhole reportedly questioned the authenticity of signatures attached to documents concerning Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension, raising concerns about due process within the Senate.

In response, Senate sources maintained that every signature appended to the relevant documents was genuine and that the suspension decision was reached in accordance with established parliamentary rules. The chamber emphasized its commitment to transparency, accountability, and adherence to legislative procedures.

Political observers say the dispute could further deepen divisions within the Senate and spark renewed debates over disciplinary measures and internal democracy in Nigeria's legislature.

As the controversy continues, stakeholders are calling for calm and urging all parties to respect institutional processes while allowing any grievances to be addressed through constitutional channels.
