Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has written a satirical apology letter to Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The letter titled: “SATIRICAL APOLOGY LETTER” posted on her social media page.
The letter reads:
Dear Distinguished Senate President Godswill Akpabio,
It is with the deepest sarcasm and utmost theatrical regret that I tender this apology for the grievous crime of possessing dignity and self-respect in your most exalted presence. I have reflected extensively on my unforgivable failure to recognize that legislative success in certain quarters is apparently not earned through merit, but through the ancient art of compliance — of the very personal kind.
How remiss of me not to understand that my refusal to indulge your… “requests” was not merely a personal choice, but a constitutional violation of the unwritten laws of certain men’s entitlement. Truly, I must apologize for prioritizing competence over capitulation, vision over vanity, and the people’s mandate over private dinners behind closed doors.
I now realize the catastrophic consequences of my actions: legislation delayed, tempers flared, and the tragic bruising of egos so large they require their own postcodes. For this disruption to the natural order of “quid pro quo,” I bow my head in fictional shame.
Please find it in your magnanimous heart — somewhere buried deep beneath layers of entitlement — to forgive this stubborn woman who mistakenly believed that her seat in the Senate was earned through elections, not erections.
I remain,
Yours in eternal resistance,
Senator Natasha H Akpoti Uduaghan
Unafraid, Unbought, and Unbroken
I doff my hat for Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan. How many of our legislative ladies both present and past could write so impechably. She worth her onions. She has said it, Nigeria’s democracy is not where merit is respected or constitution is strictly considered the book of the rule of law. But what the man at the helm of affairs says. I think the Assembly Members whatever may be considered as the tone of the apology, should relax their egos and allow peace to reign. They should consider the apology and recall her.
