The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Interior, Senator Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole, has clarified that he never alleged that any senator\u2019s signature was forged in relation to the suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.<\/p>\n

His clarification was contained in a statement he personally signed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Oshiomhole said his recent comments during an interview on AIT \u201cPolitics Today\u201d on Monday were misrepresented and taken out of context.<\/p>\n

He explained that he did not at any point accuse any lawmaker of forgery, stressing that the situation had been wrongly interpreted.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo set the record straight, I did not say that any senator\u2019s signature was forged. That is a complete misrepresentation of what I said,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The former Edo State governor said he agreed with the Senate spokesperson, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, that no signature was forged during the process leading to Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n

According to him, no senator personally complained about any forged signature.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no complaint from any senator that his or her signature was forged,\u201d Oshiomhole said.<\/p>\n

He explained that he was actually referring to a claim made by one member of the committee, who alleged that attendance signatures were attached to the final report.<\/p>\n

He maintained that his comment had been misunderstood and insisted he never accused anyone of forgery.<\/p>\n

Oshiomhole added that the Senate had already moved past the issue, noting that it no longer required further controversy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as I am concerned, the matter has been put to rest, and the Senate has moved on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, I emphasise that no senator told me that his or her signature was forged.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also expressed regret if his comments caused any misunderstanding or embarrassment to his colleagues or the Senate as an institution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
