Apparently still embittered over the way she was treated, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan declared on Tuesday that she cannot apologise over injustice meted to her.
Speaking with journalists, Mrs. Akpoti-Uduaghan said that she would not apologize to the Senate having survived the injustice against her.
She also said that it will amount to injustice if she were not permitted to resume her legislative duties because the matter was pending in court.
“I am still waiting for the letter because it is very important to understand the conditions that they might set illegally concerning this.
“Because I read in the papers that the leadership meeting was held yesterday and the minority leader, Sen. Abba Moro upon resumption on Oct. 7 would read a motion calling on me to apologize.
“So I am actually worried as to what apology they expect from me, you can’t apologize for an injustice.
“So this is just one illegality upon the other and I think in Nigeria, we should reject such things.
“I think it is actually appalling that such amount of illegality exists, so if they are expecting me to apologize, I am sorry, I don’t have those words.
“And if that is the condition for opening this office, then I think we have a long dance to go,” the Kogi Central Senatorial District lawmaker said.
