Claim: A viral video circulating on social media claimed that Senate President Godswill Akpabio has apologised to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, following their recent altercation in the hallowed chamber.
The text displayed alongside the video footage appears thus – “Senate President apologies to Senator Natasha- as she takes back her seat in the red hallowed chambers– just wondering họw Senator Irenti Kingibe is feeling now. My dear, there are certain matters that wẹ must not chuck mouth o but certainly not when Maradona speaks!”
The video has sparked widespread reactions among the general public, particularly among supporters of both the Senate President and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
Recall that a few days ago, there was chaos in the Senate chamber involving Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan over a seating arrangement.
On February 20, Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan engaged in a heated debate during plenary over a change in seating arrangements.
Akpoti-Uduaghan later alleged that her troubles in the Senate began after she rejected alleged sexual advances from Akpabio.
The disagreement arose when Akpoti-Uduaghan’s seat was reassigned at the start of plenary, but she refused to comply with the relocation.
The situation escalated when Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan declined to accept the new seating assignment at the beginning of the session. In response, the Senate President ordered her removal from the chamber.
