Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has raised an alarm over plans to arrest her, sparking widespread concern about the state of Nigeria’s democracy. The senator’s fears stem from what she perceives as a targeted effort to silence her voice. Any attempt to arrest her, she warns, would serve as undeniable evidence that Nigeria’s democratic ideals are under severe threat. In a statement, National Secretary of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), High Chief Peter Ameh, condemned the alleged plans to arrest Senator Natasha. “The senator’s outcry is not just a personal plea for justice; it is a clarion call to all Nigerians who cherish the principles of democracy to stand against what could be the beginning of a full-blown dictatorship,” Peter Ameh said. The situation is further complicated by the conduct of the Nigerian Senate, which has refused to grant Senator Natasha a fair hearing. This refusal undermines the institution’s role in upholding justice and fairness. Peter Ameh emphasized that the Senate must reverse its decision and grant Senator Natasha a fair hearing, while the government must reaffirm its commitment to democratic ideals. The alleged plan to arrest Senator Natasha Akpabio has sparked widespread outrage, with many Nigerians viewing it as an attack on democracy. As Peter Ameh noted, the stakes are high, and the time to act is now—before the echoes of dictatorship drown out the voices of the people.
