Suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Sunday delivered a blistering, sarcastic "apology" to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, ridiculing his alleged sexual advances and the Senate’s punitive measures against her.

The letter, dripping with irony, was released to the press while Akpabio is abroad attending the late Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome. It marks the latest escalation in their feud, which began when Natasha accused Akpabio of victimizing her after she rejected his purported harassment.

Natasha was suspended on March 6 following clashes with Senate leadership over seating arrangements she claimed targeted her. The conflict intensified when she publicly accused Akpabio of retaliation, citing the withdrawal of her security, salary cuts, and a six-month suspension.

Despite a court order barring both parties from discussing the case, Natasha’s letter—framed as a faux apology—mocked Akpabio’s ego, entitlement, and the Senate’s alleged culture of transactional politics.

Her letter reads:

"Dear Distinguished Senate President Godswill Akpabio,

It is with the deepest sarcasm and utmost theatrical regret that I apologize for the grave offense of possessing dignity in your exalted presence. How foolish of me to assume my Senate seat was earned through votes, not through… other means.

I now see the error of my ways: I failed to grasp that legislative success here isn’t about merit, but compliance—of a very personal nature. My refusal to indulge your ‘requests’ was clearly a breach of the unwritten rules of male entitlement. For this, I prostrate in imaginary remorse.

Forgive my naïve belief that competence outweighs capitulation, or that my mandate mattered more than private dinners behind closed doors. My actions have caused great distress—delayed bills, wounded egos (so vast they need their own ZIP codes), and a tragic disruption of the sacred ‘quid pro quo’ order.

“May your magnanimous heart—buried somewhere beneath layers of entitlement—pardon this ‘stubborn woman’ who thought her place in the Senate came from democracy, not… other rising interests.

“Yours in eternal defiance,

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

“Unafraid. Unbought. Unbroken."

The letter underscores Natasha’s refusal to back down, turning her suspension into a platform for satire and defiance. Legal proceedings continue, but the war of words—and wit—rages on.
