Kogi Central stakeholders have issued a warning to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, threatening to initiate a recall process against her due to her ongoing public feud with Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The group in a statement by its convener, AbdulRaheem Adeku regretted that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan failed to abide by the standing rules of the senate.
The statement reads in parts: “As a revered institution of government, there is no gain saying that the National assembly has standing rules that must be obeyed as an integral part of keeping the order but we regret to note in absolute terms that a matter that has to do with a simple compliance to rules has degenerated to a vitreous attack on the personality of the distinguished senate president, Godswill Akpabio.
“Having acknowledged the overarching support she has enjoyed over the past few months from the leadership of the senate, we would like to categorically dissociate and distance ourselves from the uncanny and inappropriate behavior of Senator Natasha.
“We expect Senator Natasha to recognise her strength as an equal to other members of the red chamber, act as a distinguished member of the red chamber, concentrate on the mandate given to her by her people to protect our overall interest and desist from distracting everyone towards events that yield no common good.
“As a people we are known for showing gratitude, loyalty and fidelity to friendship.
“We therefore condemn the actions, utterances and smear campaign of our daughter against distinguished senate president, Godswill Akpabio.
“This is not in our character, hence, we the Kogi Central Concerned Stakeholders may be compelled by any further stretch of the ongoing public abuse of privilege of representation at the senate, to commence the process of recall.
“While pledging total support and loyalty to the senate president and entire members of the red chamber, we call on the senate to proceed with the laid down disciplinary measure, take the necessary and appropriate action to serve as a deterrent to other serving senators.”
