The senator clarified that her earlier apology was a gesture of peace, not a confession. She accused Akpabio of weaponizing the apology to stifle her voice.

Natasha argued that Akpabio’s lawsuit violates her rights under Section 39 of the 1999 Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech. She vowed to challenge the case in court and urged civil society to take interest.

The senator called on the media, activists, and the public to stand against judicial intimidation, emphasizing that the case has implications for democratic principles.
