***Vows to Expose Power Abuse in Senate
Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has strongly refuted claims that she apologised to the Senate over her sexual allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, dismissing the reports as a fraudulent attempt to silence her.
In a firm statement, Akpoti-Uduaghan condemned what she described as a coordinated effort to tarnish her credibility, declaring that she remains unwavering in her quest for justice.
“I stand firm in my resolve to never apologise for speaking my truth,” she asserted. “The desperation to silence me is evident, but I will not be intimidated. The manipulation unfolding before Nigerians will be exposed, and those abusing our institutions will be held accountable.”
She argued that her suspension from the Senate is not just an attack on her personally but a clear demonstration of how powerful figures suppress dissent, particularly when it comes from women challenging the status quo.
Despite the backlash, Akpoti-Uduaghan reaffirmed her commitment to advocating for justice and women’s rights, urging Nigerians to disregard the viral apology report, which she labeled as deceptive propaganda.
Her defiance has reignited national discussions on power dynamics, gender discrimination, and accountability in Nigeria’s political space.
As the standoff between the outspoken senator and Senate leadership escalates, many are watching to see how the controversy unfolds.
