The lawmaker disclosed this in a video shared on social media. She thanked her supporters for standing with her.

“I thank you for your support. I am glad we are victorious today.
“We shall resume in the Senate on Tuesday by the grace of God,” she stated.

Her comment followed the judgment by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, which declared her six-month suspension from the Senate as unconstitutional, excessive, and a violation of her constituents’ rights to representation.

Justice Binta Nyako, who presided over the matter, ruled that the suspension lacked constitutional backing and ordered the immediate reinstatement of Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The court, however, also found the senator guilty of contempt for a social media post described as a satirical apology addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
