Suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has taken her battle against Senate President Godswill Akpabio beyond Nigeria’s borders, addressing the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) at the United Nations in New York.

Speaking at the Women in Parliament Session, Natasha condemned her suspension as unconstitutional, linking it directly to her petition against Akpabio over alleged harassment and intimidation.

Holding back tears, she made an emotional appeal for global democratic institutions to intervene, highlighting the systemic silencing of female politicians in Nigeria.

Following her speech, Natasha voiced fears for her personal safety, alleging that powerful forces in Nigeria could attempt to detain her in New York as retaliation for speaking out.

She also shed light on the wider struggles faced by women in Nigerian politics, calling for greater international scrutiny and protection.

Her address has since sparked intense debate, further amplifying the conversation around political suppression, gender discrimination, and abuse of power in Nigeria’s leadership. As the world watches, pressure mounts on the Nigerian Senate and global institutions to respond to her plea for justice.
