Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has commended Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja for overturning the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan by the Senate.
In a post on his verified social media handle, Atiku described the suspension as “obnoxious” and praised the court for upholding the rule of law.
He also applauded Akpoti-Uduaghan for taking a stand against what he called an illegality.
His words: “I commend Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, for the courage in lifting the obnoxious suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
“I also hail Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan for challenging the illegality of her suspension by not sleeping on her rights in a chamber where women are already vulnerable.”
He said asserting one’s rights in a democratic system comes at a cost, but added that “there’s no price that is too great in asserting one’s rights.”
I support justice and equity… The Senate are law makers, so I expect them to obey the law. God bless Nigeria!
