Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has shed new light on the events preceding her controversial Senate seating dispute, sharing a previously undisclosed conversation that hints at the underlying tensions with Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Speaking in a video shared by AIT, Akpoti-Uduaghan revealed that two days before the confrontation over her seat, she received a warning from a fellow senator about Akpabio’s apparent displeasure with her seating position.
“Two days before that day a senator called me and said the senate president had complained about my sitting in that position,” Akpoti-Uduaghan recounted. According to her, the unnamed senator reported that Akpabio was angered each time he saw her on the screen above her seat.
This new information adds another layer to the ongoing political drama that has culminated in Akpoti-Uduaghan’s suspension from the Senate. The revelation suggests that tensions between the senator and the Senate President predated the public confrontation that led to her removal.
The senator emphasized the confidential nature of this information, stating, “I have not said this anywhere but I am saying it today.” Her decision to now disclose this conversation provides additional context to the escalating conflict within the Senate.
The account raises significant questions about the nature of power dynamics and interpersonal relationships within the legislative body. It suggests that seating arrangements can be more than mere logistical matters, potentially becoming sites of political tension and personal discomfort.
