Senate President Godswill Akpabio has filed a notice of appeal at the supreme court challenging a decision of the court of appeal in a suit involving Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, senator representing Kogi central.
The appeal arises from the judgement of the court of appeal, Abuja division, delivered on November 28, in appeal number CA/ABJ/CV/1107/2025.
The dispute stems from the suspension of Akpoti-Uduaghan by the Akpabio-led senate, which was later quashed by the court of appeal.
Akpabio is challenging the appellate court’s refusal to grant him leave to rely on his brief of argument, which exceeded the 35-page limit prescribed by the court of appeal rules.
