NACJD Demands Reinstatement of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, Threatens Action

The NACJD demands Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s immediate reinstatement following her suspension, condemning it as a violation of justice. The coalition has threatened international action, including sanctions, if their demands for a fair hearing are not met within seven days.

The Nigerian American Coalition for Justice and Democracy (NACJD) has strongly demanded the immediate reinstatement of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan following her suspension by the Nigerian Senate after she raised allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio. The coalition has condemned this suspension as an egregious violation of justice and democracy, noting its occurrence on International Women’s Day and in apparent violation of a court order.

The NACJD emphasizes the need for a fair hearing regarding the allegations against Mr. Akpabio and warns of potential international repercussions should their demands remain unmet. Their stance reflects a broader commitment to uphold democratic principles and advocate for women’s voices in governance.
