The lawmaker representing Kogi Central in the senate, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has issued a controversial apology letter addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
It can be recalled that the senator was suspended for six months after she was accused of refusing to adhere to the chamber’s sitting arrangement during a plenary session on February 20. However, the Senate leadership had said that an apology from Mrs Akpoti-Uduaghan might pave the way for her early reinstatement.
There has been growing tension between Akpoti-Uduaghan and Akpabio for months. The senator had previously accused the Senate President of sexual harassment and alleged that he was using his position to victimise and intimidate her following her refusal to comply with his advances.
Meanwhile, Akpoti-Uduaghan has posted what she described as a “SATIRICAL APOLOGY LETTER” on her social media platforms.
The letter reads:
From the Desk of Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan
Dear Distinguished Senate President Godswill Akpabio,
It is with the deepest sarcasm and utmost theatrical regret that I tender this apology for the grievous crime of possessing dignity and self-respect in your most exalted presence. I have reflected extensively on my unforgivable failure to recognize that legislative success in certain quarters is apparently not earned through merit, but through the ancient art of compliance — of the very personal kind.
How remiss of me not to understand that my refusal to indulge your… “requests” was not merely a personal choice, but a constitutional violation of the unwritten laws of certain men’s entitlement. Truly, I must apologize for prioritizing competence over capitulation, vision over vanity, and the people’s mandate over private dinners behind closed doors.
I now realize the catastrophic consequences of my actions: legislation delayed, tempers flared, and the tragic bruising of egos so large they require their own postcodes. For this disruption to the natural order of “quid pro quo,” I bow my head in fictional shame.
Please find it in your magnanimous heart — somewhere buried deep beneath layers of entitlement — to forgive this stubborn woman who mistakenly believed that her seat in the Senate was earned through elections, not erections.
I remain,
Yours in eternal resistance,
Senator Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan
Unafraid, Unbought, and Unbroken
Truly, this is very satirical from this Distinguished Ebira-Woman.
Am sure that at the end of this saga, Mr. Akpabio would totally avoid having any issues with this woman whose both paternal (Ebira) and maternal (Ukranian) bloods are full of resilient, stubborness, doggedness and courage.
Rubbish, what makes you thinks Akpabuyo will ever be afraid of her?
You can not compare her to Akpabuyo, he is a ceasoned politician and will always remain above her.
So you people and your Ebira woman should go and sit down.
Then end; not the beginning, matters the most.
Don’t be too sure.
I wanted to say, am really disappointed after everything she came to apologize until I read the apology
In Nigeria politics you need to be careful without that you eventually lose. Who is a looser now ? Natasha . In the case of rivers Fubara is a looser.You can not fight those that can federal power. If Natasha or Fubara is in full conrol of power, I mean federal government might power they can do worse to opposition.
That apology is good enough as compared to the damage she has caused
Please senate President, accept her apology
Please distinguished senator present your unbiased sexual harassment against the Senate president. Stop bringing up this emotional writer up without any valid evidence thanks
Good evening mr senate president sir.if at this public apology is coming from the so called Natasha you should forgive and forget life is all about sacrifice as a leader you hv to accommodate everyone that works under your leadership that is my advice to you sir?
Accuse with no viable evidence, no leaked voice note, video, picture or even written evidence, maybe by chatting… And you couldn’t be able to made your complain when all those so called harassment is going on but only when your sit position was changed in the house… We don’t believe nonsense in the name of hatred… Bring on your evidence and let’s see how far your claim can reach.
All your postulation are matters before the court of law of which your idolize Senate president’s lawyer are seeking out of court settlement
I will advise you to leave politicians alone to handle their erection and behind the scenes entertainment issues
Awesome
Take it easy sir….
Victor Ebony, God bless you for me this woman just want bring Senate President down I don’t see any reason you should come out now and in narrative there is no element of truth there. God bless
Who are you that she will give her evidence? The woman promised to bring the evidence to the court. Until when she fails to provide the evidence to judges,then you can blame her. So bro, wait till then.
Mumu Victor, continue ur mumuness
Let there be peace in Nigeria we have been through alot
Everything in dis country are funny
Apology of the century…
Thank you Ur work as a senator is over…u make things worse for the country by causing unnecessary distraction
Rather you make things worse by bowing and circumvent to evil dictates that keeps driving us to the dungeon.
Stand up for the right thing and let’s be counted no matter what it will cost us. The fear of evil makes them gain more control unending.
Thank you Ur work as a senator is over…u make things worse for the country by causing unnecessary distraction.

At the the end she apologized. Nawa. All these because of money. I thought she was strong.
Use your brain glasses to read the apology, you will understand better
Please let Settlement should occur and peace to rain….
