Senate President Godswill Akpabio has issued a formal apology to Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for remarks he made during last week’s plenary session, where he rebuked her and said the Senate is not a “nightclub.”

Akpabio’s comments had sparked controversy on social media, with various women’s groups accusing him of sexism and disrespect towards women.
