Natasha’s Return to Office: “Triumph of reason over tyranny” – Atiku

As reactions continue to trail the return of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to the Senate after serving six months suspension, ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has described the development as “triumph of reason over tyranny.”

CAPITAL POST reported on Tuesday that Senator Natasha’s office at suite 2,05 was unsealed by the Sergeant-At-Arms preparatory for her resumption of duty.

Shortly, the lawmaker who represents Kogi Central Senatorial District stormed the National Assembly Complex with her supporters.

Reacting, Atiku Abubakar in a statement on Tuesday, said Natasha’s struggle wasn’t in vain despite losing six months that she should have worked for the people of Kogi Cenral Senatorial District which she represented.
“It is reassuring that the voice of reason has prevailed at last with the unsealing of the office of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

“Though the precious time denied the people of Kogi Central in the Senate can never be reclaimed, this struggle has not been in vain. It has proven, once again, that when we stand together, we can triumph over tyranny,” Atiku said.

“The suspension of Governor Simi Fubara and lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly, the unlawful suspension of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, and the weaponisation of state institutions to harass and intimidate opposition voices are not isolated acts.

“They are deliberate markers of the Tinubu administration’s strategy as 2027 approaches: to subvert our hard-earned democracy and compromise the will of the people at any cost,” Atiku alleged.

He vowed that the opposition would continue to resist what he termed creeping authoritarianism.

“Let it be clear: on our part, we shall do everything legitimate and within the bounds of the law to protect our democracy, defend the sovereignty of the people’s mandate, and rescue our nation from the grip of authoritarianism,” he declared.
