The ongoing rift between Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has intensified, raising concerns over internal conflicts within the National Assembly.
The feud, which initially stemmed from policy disagreements, has now escalated into a heated political confrontation, with both lawmakers openly criticizing each other.
Sources within the Senate suggest that Senator Natasha, known for her vocal advocacy for transparency, has repeatedly challenged certain legislative decisions led by Akpabio, alleging a lack of inclusivity and fairness in governance. In response, Akpabio’s camp has dismissed her claims, accusing her of attempting to undermine the leadership of the Senate.
Political analysts warn that the prolonged dispute could create factions within the Senate, affecting legislative processes and decision-making. As both sides remain defiant, Nigerians are keenly watching how the leadership of the National Assembly will resolve the tensions that threaten to derail governance.
