The Labour Party (LP) has demanded the immediate reinstatement of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, following the expiration of her six-month suspension.
The call was contained in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja by LP’s national publicity secretary, Tony Akeni.
Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended in March. In a letter dated August 28, she notified the National Assembly of her intention to resume on September 4, which she said marked the end of the suspension.
But in a response dated September 4, the acting clerk of the National Assembly said the suspension remained in force pending the outcome of her appeal before the Court of Appeal.
Reacting, LP said it had been informed of the position of a US diplomat on the face-off between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the Kogi senator.
The party noted that the diplomat shared a letter written by Fatoumatta Njai, a Gambian lawmaker and member of the Pan-African Parliament, condemning the Senate’s defiance of a subsisting court order that nullified Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension.
In the view of the American diplomat, the ‘abuse of the rule of law by the Nigerian senate against a subsisting court judgment which, since July 4, 2025, nullified the suspension of Senator Natasha and implicitly ordered her unhindered return to the senate, is shameful for your country’,” LP quoted.
Njai, in her letter dated September 9, urged the Nigerian Senate to “immediately reinstate” Akpoti-Uduaghan, warning that defiance of court orders undermines democracy in West Africa.

The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has accused Dangote Petroleum Refinery of disguising an anti-union and monopolistic agenda under the cover of a planned free petrol distribution scheme.
In a statement on Friday signed by National Executive President, Comrade Williams Akporeha, and General Secretary, Comrade Afolabi Olawale, NUPENG alleged that the move by the refinery to deliver free fuel to selected states was a “Greek gift” designed to cripple union activities and eliminate competition in the petroleum trucking sector.
The union’s accusations came after the Dangote Group dismissed claims of anti-labour practices, monopoly tendencies, and planned fuel price hikes. The refinery insisted that allegations it barred tanker drivers from joining NUPENG were “entirely unfounded.”The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has accused Dangote Petroleum Refinery of disguising an anti-union and monopolistic agenda under the cover of a planned free petrol distribution scheme.
Earlier in the week, NUPENG had shut down depots, protesting that the refinery had prevented newly recruited drivers of its 4,000 compressed natural gas-powered trucks from joining the union.
The issue was eventually addressed on Tuesday with the government mediating.
However, the union’s National President, Williams Akporeha, on Wednesday said Dangote violated an agreement signed at the office of the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to NUPENG, drivers were allegedly instructed to remove union stickers from their trucks and compelled to load products in defiance of established rules.
Meanwhile, Dangote Petroleum Refinery announced on Thursday night that its free petrol distribution scheme will commence on Monday, beginning in the South-West, the Federal Capital Territory, Kwara, Delta, Rivers, and Edo States. It also slashed pump prices to ₦841 per litre in Lagos and the South-West, and ₦851 in Abuja, Kwara, Edo, Rivers, and Delta.
The union further cautioned that any harm to its leaders would be blamed on what it described as “desperate and destructive capitalists with filthy wealth.”
Nigerians should not be deceived by the offer of free nationwide delivery of petroleum products to dispensing stations,” NUPENG warned. “It is a Greek gift meant to wipe out competition and crush our union.”
The statement also alleged that Dangote Group has consistently denied unionisation rights across its cement and sugar operations nationwide.
