The lawmaker representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, has denied he alleged that signatures of lawmakers were forged in the report that recommended the suspension of Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central Senator.
This is contained in a statement he issues on Tuesday, noting that his comments during an interview on AIT were misrepresented.
Oshiomole denied that he ever claimed signatures of senators were forged.
He said that he only raised issue that a senator who served on the committee had claimed that attendance signatures of some lawmakers were attached to the final report.
The Senate had denied allegations by Oshiomhole over Natasha’s issue, stating that it would look into it and take a stand.
In a disclaimer personally signed and dated June 16, 2026, Oshiomhole said his comments made during an interview on AIT Politics Today on Monday had been misrepresented, stressing that he never alleged that any senator’s signature was forged.
“My attention has been brought to an obvious misrepresentation of the statement I made during the course of my interview on AIT Politics Today broadcast on Monday, 15th June, 2026. To set the records straight, I wish to make the following clarifications.
“The insinuation that I said signatures of Senators were forged is a complete misrepresentation of what I actually said.
“I agree absolutely with the spokesperson of the Senate, Distinguished Senator Yemi Adaramodu, that no signature of Senators was forged in Natasha Akpoti’s suspension.
“This is because no Senator complained to me that his or her signature was forged”, he added.
