IGNATIUS OKOROCHA,Abuja
Strong indications emerged Thursday that the friction between Senator Natasha Akpoti – Uduaghan ( Kogi Central) and the President of the Senate , Godswill Akpabio, has been finally settled with an invitation from Natasha to Akpabio and other Senators for projects commissioning in Kogi next week.
The invitation from Natasha to fellow Senators was contained in a personally signed letter by her and read in plenary by the President of the Senate .
Natasha in the letter invited the entire Senators to join her in project commissioning in Ihima Kogi State on Sunday to mark her second year in the Senate .
” The letter reads in part : ” In marking my second year anniversary as serving Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , I wish to invite fellow Distinguished Senators to join me for projects commissioning in Kogi State”
Meeting point for the event as stated in the letter , is Senator Natasha Akpoti – Uduaghan residence at plot 101 Jimoh Akpoti Street Ihima , Okene Kogi State .
As announced by the President of the Senate , she added in the letter that for Senators traveling by Air for the event , Obajana Airstrip can be used for landing before proceeding to Ihima by road .
Apparently pleased with the invitation, Akpabio after reading the letter , congratulated Natasha in advance , saying ” Congratulations in advance ” .
Recall that the feud between the duo over seat re – allocation in the hallowed chambers of the Senate in February this year , snowballed into wider crisis and suspension of Senator Natasha Akpoti – Uduaghan for six months by the Senate on the 6th of March this year.
Though after resuming from the six months suspension on the 24th of last month , Senator Natasha has been interfacing with Akpabio in plenary through contributions to proceedings, one of which was additional prayer she made to resolutions adopted on Criminal Code Act ( Amendment) Bill , 2025, considered in the Senate on Tuesday last week.
However, her letter to all Senators, read by Akpabio on Thursday, is the closest of all so far .
