The suspend Nigerian senator went physically to United Nation Parliamentary Union to report Nigerian Senate. When she was giving the platform to speak, she said:
“I was suspended illegally because I submitted a petition of sexual harassment against the president of the Nigerian Senate (Senator Godswill Akpabio).I thought that by submitting the petition, he will recuse himself and both of us will submit ourselves to the Committee on Ethics and public petition for fair and transparent investigation, but unfortunately,I was silenced and suspended. I was suspended for 6months and they took away my security, all the official vehicles and items that were handed over to me as a senator. My salary was cut off, I must not appear anywhere near the national Assembly and for 6months. I am not to introduce myself or present myself as a senator locally in Nigeria or intentionally, that means I am here illegally, but I have no other place to go buy to come here and speak to you women ”
She was almost moved to tears when she was saying these things. We are yet to know the reaction of the United Nations(UN) to this.
