The invitation, personally signed by Akpoti-Uduaghan, was read aloud by Akpabio during Thursday’s plenary session. The event, slated for Sunday in Ihima, Kogi State, will commemorate her second year 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 read.
According to the invitation, the gathering will hold at her residence on Plot 101, Jimoh Akpoti Street, Ihima, Okene, with senators arriving by air advised to land at Obajana Airstrip before proceeding to the venue by road.
After reading the letter, Akpabio publicly congratulated her in advance, saying, “Congratulations in advance.”
The move is seen as a major step toward reconciliation between both senators, following months of strained relations. Their rift began earlier in the year after a dispute over seat reallocation in February, which led to Akpoti-Uduaghan’s six-month suspension from the Senate on March 6.
Since her reinstatement on September 24, Akpoti-Uduaghan has been actively participating in plenary sessions and contributing to legislative debates. Her invitation to Akpabio and fellow senators marks her most significant gesture yet toward mending fences and restoring cordial relations within the chamber.
