  PRESS RELEASE SENATE'S PERSECUTION OF SENATOR NATASHA AKPOTI-UDUAGHAN IS A DESCENT INTO LEGISLATIVE DICTATORSHIP AND DEMOCRATIC ANARCHY The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) rises in vehement condemnation of the Godswill Akpabio-led Senate’s decision to continue barring Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from performing her sacred constitutional duties.

That you suspended a fellow Senator from her constitutional roles depriving her people proper representation is not sinful enough but you went ahead to ignore the rulings of the Court that voided her suspension and at the expiration of your illegal suspension, you are still denying her a return is the height of impunity and morally reprehensible. This is no longer democracy. The Senate’s pathetic recourse to a frivolous legal techn...

 Patel to testify before Congress over Kirk assassination investigation errors and FBI turmoil Hours after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated, FBI Director Kash Patel inaccurately claimed online that “the subject” in the killing was in custody.
