Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, who represents Kogi Central in the Senate, has issued a satirical apology letter addressed to Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Recall that the senator was suspended for six months after being accused of refusing to adhere to the chamber’s sitting arrangement during a plenary session on February 20. However, the Senate leadership had earlier stated that an apology from Mrs. Akpoti-Uduaghan could pave the way for her early reinstatement.
Tensions between Akpoti-Uduaghan and Akpabio have been building for months. The senator had previously accused the Senate President of sexual harassment, alleging that he used his position to intimidate and victimise her after she rejected his advances.
In a surprising turn, Akpoti-Uduaghan 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 recognise 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 apologise for prioritising competence over capitulation, vision over vanity, and the people’s mandate over private dinners behind closed doors.

“I now realise 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
