Senate spokesman has criticized the actions of Senator, who represents Kogi Central under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), over a dispute regarding seating arrangements in the Senate chamber.
The situation escalated to the point where Senate President Godswill Akpabio called on Senate security to remove her from the chamber. However, intervention from fellow lawmakers prevented further conflict.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Adaramodu, who represents Ekiti South Senatorial District, dismissed Natasha’s actions, stating that the Senate is a place for serious legislative work, not entertainment or content creation.
Addressing Natasha’s claims of being bullied or sidelined, he pointed out that despite being a first-time senator, she was appointed as chairperson of three committees, including the Committee on Foreign Affairs and NGOs.
“The National Assembly is not for content creation in entertainment; it is for serious business,” Adaramodu said. “If she claims to be bullied, she should remember that, as a first-timer, she has already been given three committee chair positions, which is beyond the usual one.”
He also ruled out any disciplinary action against Natasha, noting that her Kogi State colleague, Senator Isah Jubril, had already apologized on her behalf. He assured that the 10th Senate would not revisit the issue following the apology.
He added, “The Senate as a whole has already accepted that tendered apology, so we are not going to revisit that.”
