Socio-political activist, Aisha Yesufu, has vowed to stand by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, as the Kogi Central representative, insisted on resuming her duties on Tuesday at the Senate despite opposition from the upper chamber.
Yesufu, on Monday, stated that she and others would accompany Akpoti-Uduaghan to the National Assembly, asserting that the embattled senator had every right to resume office following a court judgement.
“I think Senator Natasha has every right to resume office, and by tomorrow — she is not going to resume alone. There are people who are going to go with her, and I’ll be one of them.
“We’ll be with her and stand with her. And if the Senate decides they are going to kill us, let them kill us,” Yesufu said.
The activist further condemned what she described as systemic discrimination against women in Nigerian politics.
