Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, has condemned the Senate’s six-month suspension of Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, calling it a “vicious abuse of power.”
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, Ezekwesili criticized the Senate for failing to investigate Natasha’s sexual harassment allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio. Instead, she accused the lawmakers of taking “the ignoble path of vicious abuse of power and the desecration of our public institution.”
“When men, because of little power fleetingly acquired start speaking like they are God, we all must remember what history reveals of their kind.

“Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. You have inspired a Generation. You have inspired all credible citizens. You will never walk alone,” she stated.
“All that sensible Nigerians have asked the @NGRSenate to do is investigate the sexual harassment allegation. But instead, they have chosen the ignoble path of vicious abuse of power and the desecration of our public institution @nassnigeria.”
She stated on her X handle that, “That was the most they could do- collectively abuse their powers. As always. Natasha is holding strong. Really strong. *Today is NOT Forever* as I have always said in this country and been proven right often enough.
“All reasonable Nigerians should be proud of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan She sat dignified to the end, in a room filled with men who collectively bullied her for daring to speak up for herself. Nigerian Women and all Real Men of goodwill should draw profound inspiration from her stoicism.
“There’s plenty of work ahead for all who believe in this Cause of unearthing the Truth on this issue.
Notably, Natasha’s suspension came just days before International Women’s Day on March 8, 2025.
