Strong indications emerged yesterday that the friction between Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio is over.
The Kogi Central lawmaker extended an invitation to Akpabio and others for projects commissioning next week.
The invitation was contained in a letter read during plenary by the Senate president.
She invited the entire senators to join her in projects 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 a 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 Akpoti-Uduaghan’s residence at Plot 101 Jimoh Akpoti Street, Ihima, Okene, Kogi State.
As announced by the president of the Senate, she added 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 Akpoti-Uduaghan.
It would be recalled that the feud between the duo over seat re-allocation in the Senate in February snowballed into her suspension for six months by the Senate.
Though after resuming from the six months suspension on September 24, she has been interfacing with Akpabio during plenary through contributions to proceedings one of which was an additional prayer that she made to the resolutions adopted on Criminal Code Act (Amendment) Bill, 2025, considered in the Senate on Tuesday last week.
