Senator Yemi Adaramodu, the Senate spokesperson, has said that Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is not complying with its orders.
While speaking on Arise TV’s Morning Show on Monday, Adaramodu disclosed that the sexual harassment allegation brought by Senator Natasha against Senate President Godswill Akpabio is not before the Senate.
According to him, the only case before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petition is Akpoti-Uduaghan not complying with the Senate standing orders.
The only matter before the Senate is between Senator Natasha and the rest of the senators, that she is not complying with the standing orders of the Senate. No other issues.
“Then, if there is anything that comes tomorrow about any senator in the National Assembly, the ethics, privileges, and public petition committee will review once it is referred to them. It is going to be taken as an internal affair.
“In the hallowed chamber, whatever we do or say is not actionable in the court, so because of that, the committee will treat the issue as it comes.
“The Senate does not run the committee with senators. The Senate President does not even run with its members. It is an independent committee,” Adaramodu said.
