We are not in animal farm, there must be decency, Adaramodu slams Natasha

Senate spokesperson, Yemi Adaramodu, has condemned the actions of Kogi lawmaker, Natasha Akpoti, who rejected her sitting arrangements, on February 20.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, after the altercation filed a defamation lawsuit against Akpabio, seeking N100 billion in damages.

On Friday, Akpoti-Uduaghan accused Senate President Akpabio of defaming and penalising her after she rejected his sexual advances.

She was referred to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Code of Conduct, and Public Petitions.

Upon resumption of the hearing, Adaramodu condemned Natasha’s reaction to the seating arrangement.

Adaramodu stated that the chambers has a rule of conduct guiding it as decency is always required in the house.

He said: “We have our standing orders in our internal constitutions, because we are empowered by the various sections of the constitution that is the National Assembly to make our own rules that will guide us. It says we are not barbarians. It says we are not in an animal farm. Because even an animal farm there is a room for decency and decorum. The standing order clearly stated how, when, where, why a Senator would behave in the chambers and even outside the chambers too.”
