The Senate on Wednesday threw out the petition filed against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, saying the petition “is dead on arrival”, News360 Nigeria reports.

The chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Public Petitions, Neda Imasuen, made the pronouncement at a public hearing raised for the purpose of investigating alleged misconduct against Natasha.

Senator Imasuen also dismissed the order of a Federal High Court in Abuja restraining the Senate from subjecting Natasha to any disciplinary measures.

According to him, since Senator Natasha had filed a sexual harassment case in court against Akpabio, the committee cannot entertain her petition on the same subject.

Imasuen added that by rule, the Senate and its committees do not entertain petitions that are already before any court.

Senator Imasuen cited the principles of separation of powers for rejecting the court order restraining the Senate from taking disciplinary measures against the female senator.

“The legislature is a separate arm of government and another arm of government cannot dictate to the other,”

Imasuen said.

Our democracy is one that encapsulates the more you look, the less you see. All arms of government are not different from one another and the abuse of the court system by the other arms is irritating to say the least. Anyways, we all are watching.

Though they are likely sponsored, these protesters are not doing anything different than the average Nigerian will do, that is, follow the crowd instead of thinking for yourself. Na so we de do jungle justice on NL and social media on different topics. If they hate someone, they can never see anything good.

On this matter, people have already taken sides, instead of hearing from both sides. One side is alleging, another side is alleging. They are sponsoring posts about themselves, hoping that we can judge a matter of family affair. Whether you look at it as family friends or members of the Senate, it is a family affair. If Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan is lying, she'll lose and SP will win. If she's saying the truth, the Senate will win. Isn't it a win-win? Our leaders are not so different from us.

Whoever knows the handler of the NASS YouTube page should let them know that the NASS is not TVC or Arise News. The captions they use to describe senate plenary is disgraceful to say the least. This Senate is disgracing the institution
