A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress(APC) in Delta State, Chief Ayirimi Emami, has called for restrain in the escalating war of words between the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and the lawmaker representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
While speaking on Friday at Arise TV programme, Morning Show, Natasha alleged that she was being victimised by the Senate President following alleged rebuff of sexual advances from the Senate President.
The APC chieftain in a statement demanded immediate ceasefire from the federal lawmakers as he declared that enemies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration were determined to feast on it and create a distraction to Nigerians.
He noted: “The avoidable media war, took the minds of majority of Nigerians off the critical issue of the N54.99 trillion 2025 budget President Tinubu signed into law Friday February 28.”
“Rather than focusing on the nitty gritty of the 2025 budget and how it would accelerate the palpable progress being made in the country, many Nigerians are exerting their energies on the disagreement between the two distinguished Senators.”
According to him ” as family, we are making efforts to resolve the misunderstanding between the Distinguished Senate President, Goodswill Akpabio and our sister – in-law, Senator Natasha Akpoti – Uduaghan”.
” I want to use this medium to appeal to both parties to embrace peace, for the interest of the nation. “By the grace of God and the wisdom of our good ancestors, the issues will be resolved soon.”
