Senate Accuses Natasha of Using National Assembly for ‘Content Creation’

The Senate has accused Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of using her resumption attempt for “”content creation” or skit-making,” saying the National Assembly is for lawmaking, not drama.

The Nigerian Senate has accused Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of using the National Assembly as a stage for “skit-making” following her attempted return to plenary on Tuesday.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central, was suspended for six months in May after accusing Senate President Godswill Akpabio of sexual harassment.

Citing a federal high court judgment in Abuja, the senator attempted to resume legislative duties but was denied entry into the National Assembly complex.

Reacting to the incident on Channels TV, Yemi Adaramodu, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, dismissed her return as mere theatrics.

“The National Assembly at large has a lot of roles to play. We are legislators and lawmakers, not spectators to be watching skit-making and content creation,” he said.

He likened the situation to an unfolding drama series:
“Initially, I said all these episodes and saga are all about content creation. Now that the content has been created, it’s degenerating into a season film.”

Adaramodu emphasized that the enforcement of any court ruling must follow due legal process:
“Even if someone gets a court judgment, the enforcement must be carried out through legal channels. Court bailiffs serve orders — litigants don’t enforce them themselves.”

He concluded by stating that the Senate remains uninterested in what he described as Akpoti-Uduaghan’s ongoing “content creation episodes.”
