Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central has revealed her colleagues’ reactions when her invitation letter was read during plenary on Thursday.
Recall that Natasha had, in her letter, invited
the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, and other lawmakers to the
inauguration of constituency projects in Kogi State.
The invitation, which was contained in a letter read by
Akpabio during the plenary, signaled an olive branch extended to the leadership
of the Red Chamber after her suspension.
In a post on her official Facebook page on Friday, Natasha
stated that while Akpabio “smiled genuinely,” others wiped their tears when her
letter was read.
According to the lawmaker, “During plenary, Akpabio, the
same man who presided over my suspension, the same leader whose allies pushed
for my seat to be declared vacant, stood at the podium and read aloud my
elegantly crafted invitation.
“The chamber erupted in applause. Senators from across
divides clapped. Some laughed at the irony. Others wiped tears. Akpabio smiled
genuinely, it seemed. And Natasha? She sat poised, radiant, unbowed.”
