After serving a six-month suspension, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan made a bold return to the National Assembly on Tuesday, insisting she owes no apology to the Senate. The senator representing Kogi Central gained access to her office in the National Assembly Complex and addressed journalists shortly after, declaring that her suspension was unjust and that she would not be coerced into offering an apology. You can’t apologise for an injustice.”Akpoti-Uduaghan emphasized that any attempt to impose conditions on her return while a related case is still before the court would be unlawful. Describing the Senate’s actions as “one illegality upon another,” the senator said she found it troubling that such measures were being normalized. “Let Nigerians know that the future is bright—we just can’t give up our hope,” she said.
