Embattled Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has called for her probe proceedings at the Senate to be broadcast live.
Natasha, who represents Kogi Central District at the Green Chamber, in a post across social media platforms on Thursday, declared that Nigerians had a right to witness the process.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was referred to the Senate’s Ethics and Disciplinary Committee following her face-off with Senate President Godswill Akpabio over a seating arrangement.
She said she was ready to face the panel but would not allow the matter to be handled behind closed doors.
The PDP lawmaker said she refrained from speaking publicly on the issue and other developments in the Senate but had now decided to break her silence.
She urged Nigerians to follow the proceedings closely, emphasising that she would push for full transparency.
“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 [sic] 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,” she wrote.
