The Chairman of the Senate Committee Inter-Parliamentary Senator Jimoh Ibrahim has explained why the purported petition from suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is “dead on arrival” at the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
Senator Ibrahim who made the assertion in a statement in Abuja, emphasised that Nigeria, rather than Senator Natasha, is the member of the IPU.
“A petition can only be lodged against another member state by a member state, this implies that the IPU cannot consider petitions from individuals who are not members”
Ibrahim added: “The suspended Senator Natasha is not a member of the IPU, but Nigeria is!
