As reactions to the confrontation between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central continue, Ayirimi Emami, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, has urged moderation.
According to reports, Natasha claimed that the Senate President was mistreating her after she rejected his sexual attempts during her appearance on the Arise TV program Morning Show on Friday.
Emami said in a statement on Saturday that opponents of President Bola Tinubu’s administration were trying to take advantage of it and divert Nigerians’ attention, and he called on both federal lawmakers to immediately end hostilities.
The APC chairman claims that the unneeded media conflict distracted most Nigerians from the important topic of the ₦54.99 trillion 2025 budget that President Tinubu signed into law on Friday, February 28.

Emima indicated that APC leaders in the South-South are working to clear up the misconception while highlighting the need of maintaining the Senate’s integrity.
He said that many Nigerians are concentrating their energy on the dispute between the two esteemed senators rather than the specifics of the 2025 budget and how it would hasten the noticeable advancements being made in the nation.
“Our family is working to clear up the confusion between our sister-in-law, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, and the distinguished Senate President, Goodswill Akpabio.”
“For the sake of the country, I would like to use this platform to urge both sides to embrace peace.
“With God’s grace and the insight of our wise forefathers, the problems will be settled shortly.”
