The article reports on the suspension of Senator Godswill Akpabios appeal against a court ruling that reinstated Natasha Uduaghan as the senator representing Delta South. Akpabio who was initially declared the winner of the 2019 senatorial election in Delta South was later suspended by the Court of Appeal and replaced with Uduaghan. However Akpabio appealed the decision and was granted a stay of execution allowing him to remain in office. Now Uduaghan has filed a counter-appeal arguing that the stay of execution was wrongly granted and that she should be reinstated as the senator. The case is ongoing and the final decision is yet to be made.

    Natasha’s suspension was too harsh and political,the suspension was premeditated and politically motivated because she refused to agree to the senate President demands.the federal high court also ruled that the suspension was excessive and unconsistiional, violating Natasha’s rights
