Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has welcomed the unsealing of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan's office, describing it as evidence that Nigerians can triumph over tyranny when they stand united.

The senator representing Kogi Central had her office reopened on Tuesday by the Senate through Deputy Director, Sergeant-At-Arms, Alabi Adedeji. This development marks her official return to legislative duties after being suspended from the red chamber since March 6, 2025.

In a statement reacting to the development, Atiku expressed satisfaction that reason had finally prevailed in the matter.

"It is reassuring that the voice of reason has prevailed at last with the unsealing of the office of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan," the former Vice President stated.

"Though the precious time denied the people of Kogi Central in the Senate can never be reclaimed, this struggle has not been in vain. It has proven, once again, that when we stand together, we can triumph over tyranny," he added.

The former presidential candidate did not stop at celebrating Natasha's return but used the opportunity to criticize President Bola Tinubu's administration. Atiku specifically mentioned the recently lifted emergency rule in Rivers State, accusing the President of undermining Nigeria's democratic institutions.

"The suspension of Governor Simi Fubara and lawmakers of the Rivers State House of Assembly, the unlawful suspension of Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, and the weaponisation of state institutions to harass and intimidate opposition voices are not isolated acts," Atiku declared.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan's office, located in suite 2.05 of the Senate wing, had remained locked since her controversial suspension over six months ago. The reopening signals a new chapter in her legislative career and represents a significant victory for her supporters who had consistently advocated for her reinstatement.

Political analysts view this development as potentially setting a precedent for how the Senate handles internal disciplinary matters in the future, particularly those involving opposition lawmakers.
