Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has issued a scathing, sarcastic apology to Senate President Godswill Akpabio after accusing him of sexual harassment and facing suspension from the National Assembly.
The Kogi Central lawmaker, who was suspended in March following a heated seating arrangement dispute, had earlier alleged that Akpabio punished her for rejecting his "sexual advances" during a UN parliamentary meeting in New York. However, in a satirical letter released Sunday, Natasha mocked Akpabio, writing:
“I must apologize for prioritizing competence over capitulation, vision over vanity, and the people’s mandate over private dinners behind closed doors.”
The letter, dripping with sarcasm, also referenced her refusal to comply with "unwritten laws of certain men’s entitlement"—a clear jab at Akpabio. This comes after a court gag order barred both parties from further public comments on the case.
Natasha’s suspension had earlier sparked outrage after she claimed her security detail was withdrawn, her salary slashed, and her legislative duties halted for six months.
