Senator Adams Oshiomhole, representing Edo North, has claimed that the signatures of at least three lawmakers were forged or improperly included on the report that recommended the six-month suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan in March 2025.
Speaking during an interview on AIT while responding to comments by Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele, Oshiomhole said some senators whose names appeared on the report had privately told him they did not sign the document or endorse its recommendations, citing Senator Ireti Kingibe who, according to him, expressed surprise at seeing her name listed.
He explained that committee members are expected to sign the report to endorse it, and those who do not agree can abstain, but some said they did not sign yet their names were published, suggesting that attendance registers may have been misused in place of actual signatures on the report.
Akpoti Uduaghan was suspended in March 2025 following allegations of gross misconduct and unruly behaviour linked to her accusations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, with the suspension barring her from the National Assembly complex, halting her salary and allowances, and leading to the sealing of her office.
