“I Stand by My Words” – Senator Natasha Refutes Apology Claims

Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the suspended senator from Kogi Central, has refuted reports that she apologized to the Nigerian Senate leadership for the acts that resulted in her suspension.

On Monday, March 24, Akpoti-Uduaghan released a statement in which he called the reports deceptive and untrue.
Akpoti-Uduaghan said she never apologized to the Senate or to anyone about the subject, saying she stands firmly by her comments and conduct about the matter that resulted in her suspension.

“The rumors that I have apologized to the Senate and retracted my position are totally false,” she stated. I have not apologized to the Senate or anybody else for this subject, and I stand firmly by what I have said and done.
She went on to call the allegations regrettable, adding that certain people are out to mislead the public and misrepresent the facts.

Akpoti-Uduaghan pointed out that the difficulties she is currently facing are about maintaining the integrity of Nigeria’s democracy, not about herself.
“As these publications and rumors do not reflect my stance, I implore the public to ignore them. I’m still dedicated to justice, truth, and the people I represent.

“This is about the integrity of our democracy, not just about myself. False narratives will not scare me or coerce me into submission,” she continued.

She declared that her verified social media accounts will be the source of all official statements.
“I appreciate my people’s support and solidarity,” Akpoti-Uduaghan remarked. You may be sure that I will keep fighting for justice and morality.
