The suspended Senator representing Kogi Central at the National Assembly, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has issued a sarcastic public apology to the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio.
Naturenex reports that Senator Natasha was suspended from Senate duties after refusing a newly assigned seat in the red chamber, as well as following a sexual harassment allegation she raised against Akpabio.
Taking to her Instagram account on Sunday, April 27, 2025, the embattled lawmaker shared a satirical apology letter, describing herself as a “stubborn woman” and calling on the Senate President to pardon her.
In the letter, Natasha pointedly remarked that she had been under the mistaken belief her position in the Senate was secured through elections, and not, as she put it, erections.
She wrote:
“SATIRICAL APOLOGY LETTER
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.”
