Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the senator from Kogi Central, has demanded that her Senate probe sessions be shown live, claiming that Nigerians have a right to watch.
After arguing with Senate President Godswill Akpabio about a seating arrangement, Akpoti-Uduaghan was sent to the Senate’s Ethics and Disciplinary Committee. She stated that she was prepared to appear before the panel but would not permit the issue to be handled behind closed doors.
The senator stated in a message she shared on her Facebook page on Thursday that she had chosen to come out after first choosing to keep quiet about the matter and other Senate happenings.
She stressed that she would work for complete transparency and asked Nigerians to pay careful attention to the events.
She wrote, “Good morning courageous people of Kogi Central, Kogi State and Nigeria.
“This petition came to my notice a few hours ago.
“In as much as I have refrained from publicly speaking on the matter and a lot of occurrences at the Senate under Senate President Akpabio, it’s about time I break my silence.

“And to Nigerians, please be sure to join the probe which I shall insist would be covered live.
“The next few days and weeks shall be interesting but will shape the standard and quality of Nigeria’s leadership.”
