Paul Daudu, SAN, the legal representative for the Senate in the suspension case involving Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has categorically denied authoring an open letter warning the Kogi State senator against returning to the National Assembly.

The controversy emerged after a purported letter, allegedly from Daudu's law firm, Paul Daudu, SAN & Co., began circulating on social media platforms. The document claimed that the Federal High Court judgment favoring Natasha did not constitute a binding order that invalidated her suspension from the Senate.

Taking to his Facebook account to address the situation, Daudu firmly disavowed any connection to the letter, stating: "Dear Members of the Public, please ignore the purported open letter written to J.S. Okutepa (SAN) making the rounds on social media. It is unsigned and not issued by me. I do not know the source of that letter."

Daudu expressed his professional respect for Jubrin S. Okutepa, SAN, who represents Senator Natasha in the legal proceedings, describing him as "a father and mentor in the profession." He emphasized that his professional training has always restricted his arguments to the courtroom, dismissing any suggestion that he would author such a confrontational letter to a senior colleague.

The disputed letter, dated July 5, 2025, allegedly advised Okutepa to caution his client against returning to the Senate chamber until the court released an enrolled order. It further warned of potential unrest in the Senate if Senator Natasha attempted to resume her legislative duties without an official court directive.

This development comes amid ongoing legal battles following Senator Natasha's suspension from the Senate and the subsequent court judgment in her favor. The Federal High Court had ruled on her case, though the implementation of the judgment remains a point of contention.

The situation highlights the tensions surrounding the senator's potential return to legislative duties and the procedural questions about implementing court judgments related to legislative suspensions.
