BREAKING: Natasha Opens Up On How She Got Access to Attend IPU Meeting Without Nigerian Govt Nomination

New York, United States – Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has explained how she was able to participate in the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting in New York, United States.

The Kogi Central Senator said registered for the meeting online as a senator despite not being officially nominated by the Nigerian government.

The suspended lawmaker said she secured her accreditation because she was already on IPU’s mailing list as a past attendee.

As reported by Premium Times, Akpoti-Uduaghan made this known during an interview on Sunday, March 16, 2025.

“I registered online as a senator. The suspension does not remove my legitimacy as a senator. I registered online and got a pass. I attended the same programme last year and was already on the mailing list. After I got a pass, I bought my own ticket and funded my trip and participation at the event,”
