Akpabio apologises to senator Natasha Akpoti

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has tendered a public apology to Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the senator representing Kogi Central, for his recent remarks in plenary.
Akpabio had told Akpoti-Uduaghan not to speak like she was in a “night club” after she spoke without being recognized by the Senate President.
Akpabio’s apology came on Tuesday, during a session on the floor of the Senate.
He stated that he would never intentionally denigrate any woman and expressed his respect for women. He also mentioned that his phone and that of his wife had been flooded with calls and text messages, mostly insults, following the incident.
He said, “Distinguished Senator Natasha, I want to apologise to you.
“The interest shown in the social media shows that we have enemies. I felt I should tender a public apology to you. I do not mean any harm. People should concentrate on things that will move this country forward
“Social media handlers should practice with decorum. We won’t out of anger regulate social media.”
Akpabio also denied social media posting claims that he has “numerous girlfriends”.
“I have only one wife and she is enough for me,” he said.
