The Senate has scheduled October 7, 2025, to deliberate on the resumption of suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The decision follows ongoing controversy over her interim removal from the Senate amid legal and political maneuvers.

This move places the matter directly in the hands of Nigeria’s upper chamber, which will weigh arguments from both sides before making a ruling.

As the date approaches, stakeholders including the Senate leadership, the Senate’s legal advisors, and Akpoti’s counsel are expected to submit briefs and engage in negotiations.
