The demonstrators, under the banner of Women for Good Governance, accused Akpoti-Uduaghan of working with individuals allegedly seeking to discredit Senate President Godswill Akpabio and destabilize the National Assembly.
The protest was led by the Secretary of United Women for Good Governance, Enakeme Ojineme.
The protest follows an earlier demonstration last Wednesday, when Kogi youths gathered at the National Assembly, demanding Senate President Akpabio’s resignation to allow an independent investigation into sexual harassment allegations against him.
MEANWHILE, Nigerian Women Crusade for Good Governance (NWCGG) has called on suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to use her time away from the Senate for self-reflection and professional therapy.
The group also tendered an unreserved apology to Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and the Senate over what it described as unfounded allegations made by Natasha.
Addressing a media briefing in Abuja, yesterday, on behalf of the coalition, Dr Cecilia Ikechukwu condemned the senator’s conduct, labeling it as disruptive, crude and distasteful.
