The suspended Nigerian Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has on Sunday, taken a satirical swipe at Nigerian Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, posting a mock apology over allegations of sexual harassment which she first raised earlier this year.
In the letter shared on her official Facebook page late Sunday, Natasha, adopting a tone heavy with sarcasm, apologised for what she described as the “grievous crime” of maintaining dignity and self-respect in Akpabio’s presence.
The letter reads: “SATIRICAL APOLOGY LETTER
“From the Desk of Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan
“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
