Sen. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan on Tuesday entered the National Assembly Complex, gaining access to her office after serving out her six months suspension.

Speaking with journalists, Akpoti-Uduaghan said that she would not apologise to the Senate, claiming she had survived injustice.

According to her, it will amount to injustice if she was not allowed to resume her legislative duties because the matter is pending in court.

“I am still waiting for the letter because it is very important to understand the conditions that they might set illegally concerning this.

“I read in the papers that the leadership’s meeting was held yesterday and the minority leader, Sen. Abba Moro, upon resumption on Oct. 7 would present a motion calling on me to apologise.

“So I am actually worried as to what apology they expect from me; you can’t apologise for an injustice.

“So this is just one illegality upon the other and I think in Nigeria, we should reject such things.

“I think it is actually appalling that such amount of illegality exists; so if they are expecting me to apologise, I am sorry, I don’t have those words,” the Kogi Central Senatorial District lawmaker said.

She, however, urged Nigerians not to give up on democracy.

“Let Nigerians know that the future is bright, we just can’t give up our hope.

“Our democracy is evolving and I trust that every day leading into 2027, we will be able to put out actions that will be worthwhile because patriotically we have a country to save,” she said. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
