Oby Ezekwesili Blasts the Senate, writes "Natasha Won Today"
Former Nigerian Education Minister Oby Ezekwesili has criticized the Senate's recent suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, labeling it a "coordinated abuse of power."
Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, was suspended by the Senate for six months after accusing Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment. Despite the suspension, Ezekwesili praised Akpoti-Uduaghan's composure amid alleged bullying by male colleagues, stating, "Natasha won today. That was the most they could do—collectively abuse their powers. As always. But today is not forever."
In a post on social media, Ezekwesili urged Nigerians, particularly women and men of goodwill, to draw inspiration from Akpoti-Uduaghan’s courage.
“Natasha won today. That was the most they could do—collectively abuse their powers. As always. But today is not forever,” Ezekwesili wrote.
She also emphasized the importance of continuing to push for justice, encouraging those who believe in truth to persist in their advocacy.
