Suspended Nigerian senator, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has said she’ll never apologize to the Nigerian Senate over her suspension.
The female senator representing the people of Kogi Central is slugging in out with the Senate president, Senator Godswil Akpabio.
She had accused him sexually harassing her, which he denied “strongly”
She was subsequently suspended for six months, but she can be recalled back if she apologizes to the Senate over what they called, “breaking Senate rules.”
But in a statement, Senator Natasha said she is ready for the worst, and so she’ll never apologize.
“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,” she said.
“As a senator, I have a duty to 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,” she said.
