Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has extended an invitation to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other senators to attend a project commissioning in her Kogi Central senatorial district next week.
This gesture, which is considered a move for reconciliation between Akpoti-Uduaghan and Akpabio, was made public after the Senate President read Natasha’s letter during the plenary.
Tribune Online reports that Senator Natasha was suspended from the Senate in March for six months following a shouting match with the Senate President over seat rearrangement a development that resulted in allegations and counter-allegations, including a series of litigations.
However, according to the invitation letter, personally signed by the Kogi senator, the project commissioning event is scheduled to take place on Sunday in Ihima, Kogi State, marking Akpoti-Uduaghan’s second anniversary in the Senate.
‘In marking my second year anniversary as serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I wish to invite fellow Distinguished Senators to join me for projects commissioning in Kogi State,’ the letter partly read.
According to the letter, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s residence at Plot 101, Jimoh Akpoti Street, Ihima, Okene, Kogi State, is the meeting point for the event.
The Senate President, after reading her invitation letter during plenary, congratulated Akpoti-Uduaghan, saying, ‘Congratulations in advance’.
Meanwhile, since her return to the Senate on September 24, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has been gradually engaging with Akpabio during plenary sessions and notably contributing to deliberations, including an amendment to the Criminal Code Act Bill, 2025, last week.
