Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has written a satirical apology letter to Senate President Godswill Akpabio, lambasting the culture of entitlement and corruption in the Nigerian Senate.
The letter, which has gone viral on social media, is a masterclass in sarcasm and wit. Senator Akpoti Uduaghan apologizes for her “grievous crime” of possessing dignity and self-respect in the presence of the Senate President.

The senator’s letter is a thinly veiled critique of the corruption and sexism that pervades the Nigerian Senate. She mocks the idea that legislative success is tied to personal favors and compliance rather than merit and competence.
The letter has sparked widespread outrage and admiration on social media, with many Nigerians praising Senator Akpoti Uduaghan’s courage and wit.
“Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan is a true hero and a beacon of hope for Nigerian women,” wrote one Twitter user.
As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan has become a powerful voice for change in Nigerian politics.
