Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan (PDP, Kogi) on Tuesday regained access to her office within the Senate section of the National Assembly, asserting her refusal to apologize for what she characterized as her opposition to inequity.
She addressed the media shortly after an official of the Sergeant-at-Arms unsealed her office. The federal legislator indicated, however, that she would refrain from making additional remarks for the time being, as certain matters remained unresolved.
“I am going to be quite limited with what I’ll say. In the weeks to come, I will have much to say,” she informed the journalists.
As per her account, she had not received any formal communication regarding the stipulations associated with her return. She expressed her concern over reports indicating that a motion might be introduced requesting her to issue an apology.
“So, I am actually worried as to what apology they expect from me. You can’t apologize for an injustice,” she remarked.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan asserted that her suspension was unwarranted and maintained that she would not apologize as a prerequisite for resuming her legislative responsibilities.
Reflecting on her recent trials, she noted that she and her supporters had faced numerous difficulties during the duration of her suspension but expressed appreciation to the constituents of Kogi Central, her family, and her colleagues who remained supportive.
“In everything, it just shows that sometimes it’s good to put the institutions to test. We can’t be cowed in the face of injustice. No one is more Nigerian than us,” she stated.
She further encouraged Nigerians to remain hopeful about the nation despite its adversities, expressing confidence that there was “light at the end of the tunnel.”
