Akpoti-Uduaghan’s insistence follows a July ruling by Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which declared her suspension unconstitutional and called for her reinstatement.

The Senate President’s legal team has appealed the judgement, arguing it interferes with legislative processes and falls outside the court’s jurisdiction.

Yesufu condemned the Senate’s stance, warning against continued disregard for judicial decisions, while featuring on National Television.

“I think Senator Natasha has every right to resume office, she is not going to resume alone.
“There are people who are going to go with her, and I’ll be one of them,” she said.
“We’ll be with her and stand with her. And if the Senate decides they are going to kill us, let them kill us.”


The activist also decried what she described as systemic discrimination against women in Nigerian politics.
