Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, was absent from the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions hearing on Wednesday.
The committee is investigating her conduct during last week’s plenary session, Prompt News reports.
Akpoti-Uduaghan recently clashed with Senate President Godswill Akpabio over seat allocation, accusing him of publicly humiliating her and blocking her legislative motions.
Her refusal to accept a reassigned seat resulted in Akpabio denying her the floor to speak.
In response, the Senate referred the dispute to its Ethics Committee.
At the hearing, Committee Chairman Senator Neda Imasuen (PDP, Edo South) expressed disappointment over her absence, stating, “Senator Natasha was duly invited. We hope she will join us as we continue.”
As of the time of reporting, she had yet to appear before the committee.
