 Natasha Akpoti: My invitation letter to Akpabio, senators procedural, not personal


Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, senator representing Kogi central, says her invitation to Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other lawmakers for the commissioning of projects in Kogi was in line with legislative procedure.


On Thursday, Akpoti-Uduaghan invited Akpabio and other lawmakers to attend a project commissioning event in her state — two months after returning from suspension.


Akpoti-Uduaghan, who marks her second year in office this week, said she wrote to the senate through the presiding officer for the letter to be read on the floor in keeping with parliamentary custom.


“Today, as is customary for announcements of such nature, I wrote a letter to the Senate through the presiding officer to the Senate President to read on the floor,” she said in a statement.


“I put out the invitation so it wouldn’t seem like I was celebrating in isolation. I’m a progressive person. Even with ongoing court cases, I continue to carry out my duties in the chamber and follow proper procedures.”


The lawmaker added that her decision reflected her commitment to due process and institutional respect, noting that her celebration of achievements and project inaugurations was about public service, not personal recognition.
