Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, resumed her legislative duties on Tuesday after regaining access to her National Assembly office.

Her return followed the official unsealing of her office in Suite 2.05, Senate Wing, by Alabi Adedeji, Deputy Director of the Sergeant-at-Arms.

Speaking after resumption, Akpoti-Uduaghan declared she had “no apology to tender,” stressing her resolve despite months of suspension and political tension.

She said, “It is remarkable how much we endured in the last six months—from suspension to recall. We overcame blackmail, recall threats, and online attacks. I thank God, my constituents in Kogi Central, and all Nigerians who stood by me. To my husband, I love you deeply, and I hope more men support their wives as you supported me.”

The senator accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of injustice, saying: “He treated me as if I were a servant in his home. This is not acceptable. The National Assembly should not be run like a dictatorship.”

Akpoti-Uduaghan’s office had remained sealed since March 6, 2025, when the Senate suspended her for alleged misconduct during her protest against a seat reassignment. Although her suspension officially ended in September, legal hurdles delayed her return.

On July 4, the Federal High Court in Abuja declared the suspension unconstitutional and excessive. Following the ruling, she wrote to the Senate, seeking reinstatement, but her request was ignored until Tuesday’s development.

While her office has now been reopened, it remains uncertain whether her full privileges will be restored and if she will rejoin her colleagues when plenary resumes on October 7.
