Senator Natasha Akpoti-Udaughan, the suspended lawmaker from Kogi Central, has issued a sincere apology to Senate President Godswill Akpabio regarding the contentious sexual harassment claim she made against him. However, her apology was delivered in a satirical letter directed to Akpabio, who is currently attending the funeral of the late Pope Francis in Rome, and was shared with the press in Abuja on Sunday. The letter states: 'Dear Distinguished Senate President Godswill Akpabio, I express my deepest sarcasm and utmost theatrical regret in offering this apology for the grave offense of maintaining dignity and self-respect in your esteemed presence.
I have given considerable thought to my unforgivable oversight in failing to recognize that legislative success in certain circles is evidently not achieved through merit, but rather through the age-old practice of compliance — of a very personal nature. How negligent of me not to grasp that my refusal to acquiesce to your... “requests” was not simply a personal decision, but a breach of the unwritten laws governing the entitlement of certain men. Indeed, I must apologize for valuing competence over submission, vision over vanity, and the mandate of the people over private gatherings behind closed doors. I now comprehend the dire repercussions of my actions: delayed legislation, heightened tempers, and the unfortunate bruising of egos so vast they necessitate their own postal codes. For this disruption to the established order of 'quid pro quo,' I bow my head in fictitious shame. I implore you to find it in your generous heart — buried deep beneath layers of entitlement — to pardon this obstinate woman who mistakenly thought her Senate seat was secured through elections, not through personal favors. I remain Yours in unwavering resistance, Senator Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan, Unafraid, Unbought, and Unbroken.'
