Following her resumption in the Senate on Tuesday, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central has remained defiant, saying she’s not prepared to apologise to the Nigerian Senate despite the pressure being mounted on her.
After six months of suspension, Akpoti-Uduaghan resumed her duty at the Senate today after her office was unsealed by the National Assembly officials.
Speaking to journalists at the Senate Chamber, she explained that there are efforts to force her to apologise, saying this will not happen, as she’s prepared to continue with the battle until justice is achieved.
According to her, “I feel happy and vindicated by having access to my office today for resumption of legislative duties after six months of illegal and unjust suspension.
“I read in one of the national dailies today that the Senate met yesterday, where the Minority Leader was reportedly mandated to prevail on me on December 7, to tender an apology.
“If the report is true, it means the battle has just begun because I have no apology to tender to anybody for the wrong done to me and not me to anybody or the Senate.”
“I’m actually worried as to what apology they expect from me. You can’t apologise for an injustice.
“And may I remind the good people of Nigeria that the document that led to my illegal suspension, which is the recommendation made by the Senator Neda Imasuen-led committee, was actually written by the office of the Senate President.
