The recent suspension and recall process against Senator Natasha Akpoti, a lawmaker from the Central Senatorial District of Kogi State, has caused the Social Democratic Party, or SDP, to voice its deep sadness and indignation.

Faction Kogi SDP Secretary Isaiah Davies Ijele blamed the state’s present administration for the recall process in a statement he signed.

According to the statement, “While we acknowledge that the Senate has established rules for addressing misconduct among its members, we firmly believe that the actions taken against Senator Akpoti are demonstrably excessive and politically motivated.

“Senator Akpoti, a staunch advocate for the people of Kogi State, has consistently championed the interests of her constituents and Kogi State as a whole. Her dedication to public service is evident in her tireless efforts to address critical issues facing the state, including poverty, unemployment, and inadequate infrastructure”.

According to Ijele, Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan’s suspension and recall proceedings are an obvious attempt to stifle her voice and erode her steadfast dedication to public service.

Continuing, Ijele said “the SDP denounces this blatant disregard for due process and the principles of fairness. We stand firmly behind Senator Akpoti and condemn this politically motivated attack on her character and integrity. We call upon all supporters of the SDP, as well as all citizens who believe in the rule of law and the principles of equity, to reject this unjust attempt to silence Senator Akpoti.

“The SDP will continue to monitor this situation closely and will take all necessary steps to ensure that Senator Akpoti’s rights are protected and the recall process ends in futility. We urge the Senate to reconsider its decision and save our democracy”.
