 SDP Condemns Suspension, Recall Process Against Senator Natasha Akpoti


The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kogi State has strongly criticized the suspension and recall process initiated against Senator Natasha Akpoti, describing it as politically motivated and excessive.


In a statement signed by factional Kogi SDP Secretary, Isaiah Davies Ijele, the party accused the state government of orchestrating the move to silence Akpoti, who represents Kogi Central Senatorial District.


"While the Senate has rules for addressing misconduct, the actions against Senator Akpoti are unjust and politically driven," the statement read.


The party praised Akpoti’s dedication to addressing key issues such as poverty, unemployment, and infrastructure deficits, insisting that the recall effort aims to undermine her commitment to public service.


The SDP vowed to resist what it termed a "blatant disregard for due process" and called on supporters and citizens to reject the attempt to silence the senator.


“We will continue to monitor the situation and take all necessary steps to protect Senator Akpoti’s rights. The Senate must reconsider this decision to uphold democracy,” Ijele added.
