Veteran Nollywood actor Ugezu J. Ugezu has called out the Senate President over the continued suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti, questioning both the legality and ethics of her prolonged exclusion from the Senate.
In a strongly worded social media post, Ugezu reminded the Senate President that Senator Akpoti, like himself, was democratically elected to represent the will of her constituents—and that a competent court has already declared her suspension unlawful.
“The same way she got elected to represent her people is the same way you got elected to represent yours. Now you suspended her,” he wrote.
Ugezu further criticized the Senate leadership’s decision to appeal the court’s ruling, which ordered Akpoti’s immediate reinstatement and stated that no Senate leader has the authority to indefinitely suspend an elected lawmaker.
“And you are appealing the judgment? Senate President sir, can you shun frivolities and face your real-time parliamentary duties?” he added.
The actor’s remarks have sparked renewed public discourse around the separation of powers and the limits of legislative authority.
