National Secretary of CUPP, Mr Peter Ameh, made this known while speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Friday.
Reports that Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended by the upper chamber on March 6 over alleged violation of the Senate Standing Orders 2023 (as amended).
However, the court, on Friday, ordered the senate to recall the Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, back to her legislative duties.
Reacting to the judgment, Ameh said that the coalition, “jubilantly welcomes the historic court ruling, mandating the senate to immediately recall the unjustly-suspended Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan.
“This monumental victory is not merely a personal vindication for Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan but a resounding triumph for legislative independence.
“It is a beacon of hope forged in unyielding courage and a powerful rebuke of the tactics employed by the senate leadership,” he said.
According to Ameh, the court pronouncement will serve as an unequivocal end to what he called the senate’s recklessness threatening to erode the foundation of the country.
“We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan and salute all patriotic Nigerians who boldly spoke out,” he said. (NAN)
