CUPP Raises Alarm Over Alleged Plan to Arrest Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has strongly condemned what it describes as an alleged plot to arrest Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. The coalition warns that such a move, if true, would cast a dark shadow over Nigeria’s democratic landscape, raising serious concerns about freedom of expression and movement in the country.

Recently, the suspended senator raised an alarm, claiming that there were ongoing plans to silence her through arrest. The CUPP, in a statement signed by its National Secretary, Chief Peter Ameh, called this revelation a “clarion call to all Nigerians who cherish the principles of democracy.”

Silencing Dissent or Upholding Justice?

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan has insisted that her fears are not baseless, arguing that any attempt to arrest her would confirm a growing trend of political suppression in Nigeria. According to her, such an act would serve as undeniable evidence that the nation’s democratic ideals are under severe threat.

“The mere suggestion of an elected official being apprehended for speaking out is a chilling prospect, one that evokes memories of authoritarian regimes rather than a nation governed by the will of its people,” CUPP stated.

The Senate’s Role Under Scrutiny

Adding to the controversy is the Nigerian Senate’s handling of the situation. The CUPP argues that the Senate has already committed a grave error by refusing to grant Senator Natasha a fair hearing. By shutting her out, the legislative body undermines its own credibility and sets a dangerous precedent—one that suggests dissent within its ranks will be met with suppression rather than dialogue.

The statement from CUPP warns that Nigeria’s democracy, though resilient, is not invincible. The arrest of a duly elected senator, chosen by the people, would be a direct assault on the democratic process and could signal a shift toward authoritarianism.

A Call to Action

The implications of Senator Natasha’s possible arrest are far-reaching. Nigeria is already grappling with corruption, insecurity, and institutional decay. A move to silence a lawmaker could push the nation further toward governance by coercion rather than consensus.

Nigerians must now ask themselves: What kind of democracy do they want? One where elected officials live in fear of reprisal for speaking their minds, or one where justice, fairness, and freedom prevail?

The CUPP urges all stakeholders citizens, civil society groups, and the international community to resist any attempt to stifle opposition voices. The Senate, too, must rectify its misstep by granting Senator Natasha a fair hearing, while the government must reaffirm its commitment to democratic principles.

The Bottom Line

The stakes could not be higher. If Senator Natasha’s arrest materializes, it will not just be about one individual, it will be about the survival of Nigeria’s democracy. The time to act is now, before the echoes of dictatorship drown out the voices of the people.
