Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Mocks Rivals After Akpabio Reads Her Anniversary Invitation In Senate

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan stirred social media reactions on Thursday night after she appeared to mock her political adversaries, just hours after Senate President Godswill Akpabio publicly read her letter inviting lawmakers to her second-year anniversary celebration in office.

During plenary on October 30, Akpabio read the letter in the Senate chamber, informing his colleagues of Senator Natasha’s upcoming event. The moment caught many Nigerians off guard, considering the tense history between both lawmakers — including an ongoing court case and their earlier altercation over seating arrangements in February. Some even speculated that the gesture signaled a reconciliation between the two.

However, Senator Natasha quickly took to Instagram to share a clip of the Senate President reading her invitation, highlighting the irony of the scene. In her post, she reminded followers that Akpabio had once vowed she would never return to that same chamber.

Responding to a supporter who urged her not to “remove her leg from the neck of her enemies” a local phrase meaning to keep pressure on one’s opponents the senator replied in kind, suggesting that she intends to maintain her firm stance against those who once tried to sideline her.

The episode reignited public debate about the political tension and power dynamics within the Senate, with many praising Natasha’s resilience while others criticized her tone as combative.
