Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has denied reports claiming she apologised to the Senate over her allegations of sexual harassment against Senate President Godswill Akpabio, stating that she remains unwavering in her pursuit of justice.
In a statement released on Monday, the Kogi Central senator described the reports as “false” and an attempt to silence her.
The lawmaker claimed that there were media reports stating that she apologized to the Senate.
She insisted that she stands by her claims and will not be intimidated.
“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.

Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was recently suspended from the Senate for six months, described her suspension as a “clear case of political victimisation.” She vowed to continue advocating for Nigerian women and holding those in power 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,” she asserted.
Dismissing the reports of her supposed apology, she urged Nigerians to disregard the claims.
She added, “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.”
