The Labour Party (LP) Chairman in Lagos State, Dayo Ekong, has strongly criticized the suspension of Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, calling it a gross injustice and an act of oppression.

Natasha had accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment and claimed she was denied privileges for rejecting his advances. However, after petitioning the Senate Ethics Committee, her allegations were dismissed on procedural grounds, and she was suspended for six months.

In response, Ekong decried the decision, stating that silencing a female senator reflects systemic misogyny and a disregard for justice. She emphasized that reducing female representation in the Senate from four to three undermines democracy and reinforces a culture that protects the powerful over the vulnerable.

Ekong urged Nigerians to reject the suppression of women’s voices and called for transparent investigations into the allegations. She reaffirmed the Labour Party’s support for Natasha and vowed to continue advocating for justice and gender equality.
