Akpoti-Uduaghan made this known on her verified Facebook page on Thursday while reacting to a petition filed against her by a Northern youth group and addressed to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions.
The petition titled, ”Petition against senator Natasha Uduaghan-Akpote request to investigate and discipline the senator over corruption, breach of trust and victim isation of local content committer staff,” alleged the Kogi Central Senator of corrupt practices, among others while calling for probe.
The petition partly reads, “The Northern Youth Advocacy for Excellence (NOYAD) hereby calls esteemed Senate Committee on Ethics ,Privileges and Public Petition to investigate Natasha Uduaghsn Akpoti over verifiable corrupt practices, accounts freezing and criminal diversion of committee impress allocations, usurpation of Committee duties, stifling of rights of committee staff as well as intimidation and harassment of local content committee clerk, Mrs Edith Ajah…”
Reacting to the petition, the lawmaker in the Facebook post with photos of the petition, expressed her readiness to face probe, insisting that the proceedings be broadcast live.
She also called on Nigerians to follow the process closely.
She wrote, “Good morning, courageous people of Kogi Central, Kogi State, and Nigeria.
“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.
“Arise News, set a date, and I shall be in your studio in person. Spare no questions.
“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,”
Meanwhile, the Senate had on Tuesday referred Akpoti-Uduaghan to the same committee following her shouting match with Akpabio over seating arrangements in the Red Chamber
