Embattled Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has denied the claim that she apologised to the Nigerian Senate over her allegation against Godswill Akpabio, the Senate President.
The Kogi Central Senator debunked the report in a statement issued on Monday, saying her allegations against Akpabio stands, and nothing will stop her from pursuing justice to the end.
According to her, the reports were from those bent on ensuring that she’s prevented from seeing her sexual allegation case against the senate president to a logical conclusion, describing those allegedly behind the reports as desperadoes wanting to ‘silent’ her.
“I stand firm in my resolve to never apologise for speaking my truth,” she declared. “The desperation to silence me is palpable, but I will not be intimidated. The games being played in full view of Nigerians will be exposed, and those who have hijacked our institutions will be held accountable,” she said.
The magazine reported that senator was suspended for six months, two days after she had a shouting match with Akpabio in the chamber of the Nigerian Senate.
The brawl between her and Akpabio however took another dimension after the embattled Natasha accused the former governor of Akwa Ibom state of sexual harassment. Akpabio has denied the allegation.
Two weeks ago, the senator took her case to the International Parliamentary Union,IPU where she accused Akpabio and the Senate of trying to silence her because she is a woman.
The IPU said it will investigate the matter.
