Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, representing Kogi Central, has invited Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other senators to attend a series of project commissioning events in her constituency.
Akpabio read the invitation letter during Thursday’s plenary, announcing that the ceremony is scheduled for Sunday in Ihima, Kogi State, as part of activities marking Akpoti-Uduaghan’s second anniversary in the Senate.
“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,” the letter stated.
The letter listed Akpoti-Uduaghan’s residence at Plot 101, Jimoh Akpoti Street, Ihima, Okene, as the meeting point, and advised senators flying in to use the Obajana Airstrip before continuing to Ihima by road.

After reading the invitation, Akpabio congratulated her in advance, saying, “Congratulations in advance.”
The gesture is seen as a significant step toward mending relations between both lawmakers, following their public fallout earlier in the year over seat reallocation in the Senate.
The disagreement had led to Akpoti-Uduaghan’s six-month suspension on March 6.
Since her return to the chamber on September 24, the Kogi senator has gradually re-engaged with the Senate leadership, participating actively in plenary discussions, including contributions to debates on the Criminal Code Act (Amendment) Bill, 2025.
Her latest invitation marks the clearest indication yet of a thaw in tensions and a move toward reconciliation with the Senate President.
