ABUJA – Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (PDP; Kogi Central) on Monday vowed never to apologise for speaking the truth.

In a statement she signed, Senator Natasha described reports of her apology to the Senate over her accusation of sexual harassment against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, as “entirely false.”

In the statement she said the “desperation to silence me is palpable,” adding that she will not be intimidated.

She also expressed optimism that Nigerians will soon come to know the intrigues at play, insisting that “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 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.”

“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.”
