Suspension within the Nigerian Senate is a serious matter that can arise from various controversies and allegations. Here is a detailed list of senators who have previously faced suspension, highlighting the circumstances surrounding their cases.

1. Femi Okurounmu (Ogun Central) – 1999
Senator Okurounmu was suspended in 1999 after making claims that fellow senators were conspiring to impeach President Olusegun Obasanjo. Following his suspension, he was later recalled to the Senate after he issued a formal apology.

2. Joseph Waku (Benue) – 2000
In the year 2000, Senator Waku sparked controversy by suggesting that a military coup would be a preferable alternative to what he described as President Obasanjo’s dictatorial rule. This provocative statement resulted in his suspension from the Senate.

3. Arthur Nzeribe (Imo, Orlu Constituency) – 2002
Senator Nzeribe faced indefinite suspension in November 2002 due to allegations involving a ₦22 million fraud. His suspension underscored the Senate’s intolerance for financial misconduct.

4. Isah Mohammed (Niger Central) – 2004
In October 2004, Senator Mohammed was suspended for two weeks following a physical altercation with Senator Iyabo Anisulowo outside the National Assembly lobby. The incident was reportedly linked to disputes over committee fund allocations.

5. Ali Ndume (Borno South) – 2017
Senator Ndume was suspended for six months in 2017 after he called for an investigation into allegations involving then Senate President Bukola Saraki and Senator Dino Melaye. His suspension highlighted the contentious political climate within the Senate.

6. Ovie Omo-Agege (Delta Central) – 2018
In 2018, Senator Omo-Agege was suspended for opposing the election reordering bill. Despite his subsequent apology, he sought a court order to prevent his suspension, which ultimately led to his suspension from the Senate.

7. Abdul Ningi (Bauchi Central) – 2024
Senator Ningi was suspended for three months in 2024 after alleging that the National Assembly had padded the 2024 budget by a staggering ₦3 trillion. His claims raised significant concerns about transparency and accountability within the legislature.

8. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (Kogi Central) – 2025
On the 6th of March, 2025, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was suspended for six months due to allegations of misconduct within the Senate. This suspension reflects ongoing issues related to ethical conduct among lawmakers.

This list serves as a testament to the challenges and complexities faced by senators in Nigeria, where political tensions and allegations can lead to significant consequences. The suspensions not only impact the individuals involved but also have broader implications for governance and public trust in the legislative process.
