BREAKING: Senate Reopens Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s office after months of lockout
The Senate has reopened the office of embattled Kogi Central lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, in a move widely seen as a step toward reconciliation within the upper chamber.
On Tuesday morning, security operatives and the Sergeant-at-Arms unlocked Office 205, which had been sealed for months amid a political standoff between Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
The development effectively restores her access to the National Assembly complex and marks the clearest signal yet that the frosty relationship between both camps is beginning to thaw.
Parliamentary insiders confirmed that the decision was reached during a closed-door leadership meeting on Monday. A formal motion for her full reinstatement is expected when plenary resumes on October 7, with Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro projected to champion the move—likely after a conciliatory public apology.
