Senator-Natasha-Akpoti-Uduaghan-and-Akpabio

A hieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta South, Chief Ayirimi Emami, has called for restraint in the escalating war of words between Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

The lawmaker representing Kogi Central, had alleged on a live television that she was being victimised by the senate president because her rebuff of his sex advances.

But, Chief Emami has demanded immediate ceasefire from both federal lawmakers as he declared that enemies of President Bola Tinubu administration were determined to feast on it and create a distraction to Nigerians.

He noted that, “the avoidable media war took the minds of the majority of Nigerians off the critical issue of the N54.99 trillion 2025 budget which President Tinubu signed into law on Friday, February 28.”

Chief Emami maintained that, “rather than focusing on the nitty-gritty of the 2025 budget and how it would accelerate the palpable progress being made in the country, many Nigerians are exerting their energies on the disagreement between the two distinguished Senators.”

While emphasizing the need for the integrity of the Senate to be respected, he dropped the hint that APC leaders in the South South are one family. “As a family, we are making efforts to resolve the misunderstanding between the Senate President, Goodswill Akpabio, and our sister -in-law, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

“I want to use this medium to appeal to both parties to embrace peace, for the interest of the nation. By the grace of God and the wisdom of our good ancestors, the issues will be resolved soon,” he said.
