Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has reignited tensions with Senate President Godswill Akpabio through a scathing, sarcastic "apology" that highlights deep-rooted gender bias in Nigerian politics.
  • Natasha issued a satirical letter accusing Akpabio of entitlement and sexism.
  • She referenced harassment allegations and systemic discrimination.
  • Their feud dates back to Akpabio’s “nightclub” jibe in July 2024.
  • Natasha’s suspension in February triggered nationwide protests.
  • Akpabio denies all claims and threatens legal action.
In a Senate where power often hides behind protocol, Natasha’s bold “apology” throws open uncomfortable truths. Her biting words echo frustrations many women feel in male-dominated spaces: that dignity is sometimes seen as defiance. While her stance has won public admiration, it also deepens political fault lines at a time when Nigeria’s democracy needs healing, not division.
