Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representating Kogi Central Senatorial District of Kogi State has doubled down on her resolve amid the controversy with the Nigerian Senate.

In a statement released on Monday, March 24, 2025, Akpoti-Uduaghan firmly rejected claims that she had apologised for her earlier allegations.

This comes after reports surfaced suggesting she had retracted her sexual harassment allegations against the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio and issued an apology to the Senate leadership.

However, the suspended senator swiftly debunked these claims, calling them “false” and accusing her detractors of attempting to silence her.

She further maintained that the six-month suspension slammed against her “is a clear case of political victimisation.”

The statement reads in part: “I, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, stand firm in my resolve to never apologise for speaking my truth.

“The desperation to silence me is palpable, but I will not be intimidated. The games being played in full view of the Nigerian people will be exposed, and the corrupt individuals who have hijacked our institutions will be held accountable.

“As a senator, I must represent my constituents and uphold the principles of justice and transparency.

“My allegations against Senate President Godswill Akpabio were not made lightly, and I will continue to seek justice and accountability, no matter the cost.

“My six-month suspension is a clear case of political victimisation, but I will not be deterred. I will continue to fight for the rights of Nigerian women and ensure that our voices are heard.

“I urge the public to ignore the viral report claiming that I apologised to the Senate, as it is entirely false.

“I will continue to stand by my truth and fight for what is right, even in the face of adversity.”
