Senate President Godswill Akpabio has filed a petition before the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking an order compelling the suspended lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, to delete a satirical apology video posted on her social media platforms.
In a fresh application filed by his lead counsel, Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN), Akpabio argued that the video violated an existing directive of the court. He urged the court to order Senator Natasha to remove the post from all her social media accounts.
The legal move follows a video shared by Akpoti-Uduaghan on April 27, in which she offered a sarcastic apology to Akpabio. In the clip, she stated she was “sorry for the crime of maintaining dignity and self-respect” and mocked the Senate President for allegedly not “having his way” with her.
The video has since gone viral, drawing widespread attention and fueling speculation over the growing tensions between both lawmakers.
