This idiot called Natasha Akpoti-Ijoko is a big fool. Her six month suspension is just over and the National Assembly leadership has to meet first to determine her recall. She supposed to wait at home for a recall letter from the National Assembly, but she wants to force herself on the National Assembly by going there uninvited. Her suspension letter says, until she is recalled by the National Assembly before she will be allowed back. Forcing herself on the National Assembly without a recall letter will earn her another six month suspension. 

She will never learn!

What a nitwit.

Natasha threatens legal action against NASS clerk over resumption blockade

Daily Post 

Suspended Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduagha, has threatened legal action against the Clerk of the National Assembly, Kamorudeen Ogunlana, if she is prevented from resuming plenary on Monday.

Natasha’s threat was contained in a letter dated September 10 and signed by her counsel, Chief Michael Numa, SAN.

She vowed to seek legal redress against any attempt by the National Assembly to disregard a court order regarding her resumption.

“Take notice that failure to comply by Monday, 15th September 2025, will leave us with no alternative but to initiate proceedings against you personally and in your official capacity,” the letter read.

In the letter, Natasha’s counsel stated that the National Assembly’s refusal to obey a court order was a violation of the Constitution and the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.

She vowed to initiate contempt charges and disciplinary measures, adding that the clerk would be held responsible for instigating a breach of peace.

We strongly advise that you reconsider your untenable stance and comply with the Constitution and extant judicial orders,” the letter added.

PCO,

It's funny that Tinubu is now being held responsible for the ungentlemanly behaviour and dick measuring between the former and incumbent number one citizens of Rivers state.

Tinubu had to intervene, and rightly so, when all political gladiators in the state were lining either with the former or the incumbent governor. Law and order had broken down.

I daresay all the political bigwigs in Rivers state failed their people because of stomach infrastructures.

Wise men build bridges during turmoil while the foolish build walls. All political players were building walls!
If you have to blame anyone, blame the political players for what happened to Rivers state, and not the person that put a moderator in to build bridges.

Regards,

Femi Olajide

NLC threatens to mobilise against NASS if Akpoti-Uduaghan is blocked from resuming

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has warned that it would mobilise its members against the National Assembly if the Kogi Central Senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, is not allowed to resume her legislative duties, having served her suspension period.

NLC President, Joe Ajaero, issued the warning in a statement on Thursday, condemning the decision to continue restraining Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan.

“We warn the leadership of the National Assembly and their enablers: the Nigerian people, united across ethnic and religious lines, will not stand idly by while you cannibalise our democracy. The labour movement, as the historic defender of justice and the common good, will mobilise its immense membership and moral authority to resist this slide into autocracy. An attack on one senator today is an attack on the sovereignty of every Nigerian voter tomorrow,” he said.

The NLC, an umbrella body for trade unions in Nigeria, often channels public grievances through protests.

It is unclear whether the union plans to immediately mobilise demonstrations should the Senate persist in blocking Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan’s resumption until the judicial process regarding her suspension is concluded.

Earlier this week, Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan threatened to sue the Clerk to the National Assembly (CNA), Kamorudeen Ogunlana, if she is not allowed to resume by Monday. Her lawyer, Michael Numa (SAN), conveyed the threat in a letter dated 10 September.

Although the Senate has not issued an official resolution, there are indications that the upper chamber may block her resumption when lawmakers reconvene on 23 September because the matter is still before the court and deciding otherwise would be subjudice.

Assault to democracy

Mr Ajaero described the continued denial of Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan’s resumption as a threat to Nigeria’s democracy.

“The Nigeria Labour Congress

Home Layout 02 [vc_column_text

 (NLC) rises in vehement condemnation of the Godswill Akpabio-led Senate’s decision to continue barring Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from performing her sacred constitutional duties. This act is not merely an error in judgement; it is a brazen, premeditated assault on democracy itself, a direct threat to the social contract, and a dangerous slide towards fascism masquerading as governance,” he said.

He criticised the Senate for ignoring a court ruling that voided her suspension and for refusing her return even after the suspension had lapsed.

“That you suspended a fellow Senator from her constitutional roles depriving her people proper representation is not sinful enough but you went ahead to ignore the rulings of the Court that voided her suspension and at the expiration of your illegal suspension, you are still denying her a return is the height of impunity and morally reprehensible. This is no longer a democracy,” he stated.

Alleged manipulation of the judiciary

Mr Ajero also accused the Senate leadership of attempting to silence the opposition and manipulate the judiciary.

“The Senate’s pathetic recourse to a frivolous legal technicality, claiming the matter is sub judice, after the expiration of a patently illegal six-month suspension, is the height of legislative bad faith.

It is a cynical ploy that reveals a sinister agenda to silence dissent, crush opposition, and manipulate the judiciary as a tool of political persecution.

This action, led by Senator Akpabio, constitutes a gross abuse of power that shames the hallowed chambers of the National Assembly and spits on the collective will of the people of Kogi Central who elected Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan.

“From our standpoint, this action is a direct attack on the Nigerian people. It is a declaration by a privileged political elite that they are not accountable to the citizens they purport to serve.

By willfully disenfranchising an entire senatorial district, the Senate is effectively stealing the political representation for which the people pay taxes.

This denies Kogi Central its right to participate in lawmaking, oversight, and the appropriation of national resources, directly impoverishing the constituents and perpetuating a system of exclusion and economic injustice. It signals to all Nigerians that their votes are meaningless and can be invalidated by the whims of any tyrannical leadership.

“The NLC stands on the side of democracy and wishes to state that this action is: a calculated test-run for the emasculation of opposition and the subjugation of sovereign will as 2027 approaches. It is an attempt to punish integrity and honour and hound men and women of conscience out of the political space.

A Senate that operates as a court in its matter, suspends members, and then ignores the expiry of its own sanctions, is a Senate that has declared war on the very principles of representative democracy and on our nation,” the NLC chairman said.

Pastor Emeka Okala:

The NLC are idiots. Their mandate does not cover politicians. Only Nigerian workers. Natasha Akpoti-Ijoko is a politician, not a worker. NLC was created to cater to Nigerian workers and protect their interests on labor cases, not for politicians.

The NLC is becoming a political tool. If care is not taken, they will banned by the government.

Ignorant Pastor Callee Emeka Okala, NLC Was Not Created To Prmote Or Protect Politicians In Nigeria:

Functions and Responsibilities Of Nigerian Labour Congress:

• Wages and conditions: The NLC negotiates with the government and employers to secure better wages and improved working conditions for its members. This includes pushing for the implementation and enforcement of the national minimum wage.
• Addressing economic hardship: In response to issues like the rising cost of living, the NLC actively calls for wage reviews and social interventions to ease the financial burden on Nigerian workers.
• Protection against exploitation: The congress advocates against harmful practices and protects workers from exploitation and victimisation. 

• Promoting positive industrial relations: The NLC works to strengthen collective bargaining across all economic sectors and foster healthy industrial relations.
• Social dialogue and policy input: It engages with the government and employer groups to contribute to national policies, though it has voiced concerns over recent government attempts to undermine these processes.
• Responding to anti-worker policies: The NLC actively resists policies that are harmful to workers, such as clauses that seek to criminalise strike actions. 

• Campaigns for good governance: As a voice for the populace, the NLC advocates for good governance and demands action from the government on critical issues like insecurity, poverty, and corruption.
• Pension oversight: The NLC is involved in the pension system and holds the government and pension administrators, such as PENCOM, accountable for the transparent management of workers' funds. 
• Research and data: The congress maintains a research department that undertakes studies on economic and social issues affecting workers, including wages, employment, and inflation.
• Information and communication: It manages internal and external communication to keep its affiliate unions and the public informed about its activities and struggles.
• Gender equity: The NLC is committed to achieving gender equity within the labor movement and society by promoting women's participation and addressing discriminatory practices. 
• Cooperation with labor movements: It establishes relationships and cooperates with labor movements globally, particularly within Africa, to participate in international labor efforts.
• Partnerships for worker protection: The NLC partners with international organizations, such as the Internationl Labor Organization (ILO) to improve the protection of migrant workers' rights.

Ignorant Pastor Called Emeka Okala:

Nigerian Labor Congress has gone beyond it's authorized mandate. It's now forming and joining political parties like Labor Party, promoting and defending rogue politicians like Natasha Akpoti-Ijoko and harboring criminals like the British guy that caused insurrection in Nigeria a few years ago and fled Nigeria with the aid of the NLC President. 

All those Infractions are enough grounds to ban the NLC. Tinubu is very tolerant. Other Presidents will never tolerate stupidity of NLC.

Gone are the days of Hassan Sumonu, the NLC President of the 70s and 80s. He followed the rules and acted within the boundaries of NLC.

This is Hassan Sumonu, the best NLC President Nigeria ever had. He acted within the laws of Nigeria and made positive impact on Nigerian workers, unlike Joe (Agbro) Ajero, the NLC politician President of today.

President Tinubu cannot leave Rivers State alone. Rivers State alone, can make or mar his 2027 ambitions. With what I see today, Rivers people will not vote for Tinubu in 2027 if the elections are free and fair. But then, very few expect it to be free and fair. 

But then again, what can I say?

PCO,

GK didn't pen this. You did.
Rivers state should be blamed for what it became. And, all the main stakeholders should take responsibility.

Why blame Tinubu for putting out the fire that you created on your state. There are 36 states, why Rivers state?
