The Senator representing Kogi Central senatorial district in the National Assembly, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has demanded for a life broadcast of her probe proceedings in the interest of accountability.
The embattled lawmaker who was referred to the Senate’s Ethics and Disciplinary Committee as a result of her fallout with with Senate President, Godswill Akpabio over a seating arrangement, believes that broadcasting the probe proceedings will give Nigerians the opportunity to witness the process.
Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan who made the call in a post on her Facebook page on Thursday, said though she was ready to face the panel, she would be more comfortable if the proceedings are broadcast for the benefit of the public.
She went on to say that she had thus far, refrained from speaking publicly on the issue and other developments in the Senate but has now decided to break her silence.
“Good morning courageous people of Kogi Central, Kogi State and Nigeria,” the Senator wrote.
“This petition came to my notice a few hours ago. In as much as I have refrained from publicly speaking on the matter and a lot of occurrences at the Senate under Senate President Akpabio, it’s about time I break my silence.”.
“The next few days and weeks shall be interesting but will shape the standard and quality of Nigeria’s leadership. And to Nigerians, please be sure to join the probe which I shall insist would be covered live.
“The next few days and weeks shall be interesting but will shape the standard and quality of Nigeria’s leadership.”
