Feature Article A Psychologist Advises Godswill Akpabio: Let Go Of The Struggle, Prioritize Healing For Yourself And The Nation, And Return Natasha Akpoti-uduaghan Now
SUN, 06 APR 2025

Dear Senate President Godswill Akpabio,
I write to you not as an adversary, but as someone who is deeply concerned about the escalating tensions surrounding the exclusion of Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan from the Senate. This situation has become a defining moment—not just for her, but for your legacy, the integrity of the Senate, and Nigeria’s democratic values. I urge you to reflect on the path forward with clarity, humility, and courage.

Reclaim Your Peace and Health: A Call for Restoring Balance by Returning Natasha Akpoti-Udughan

Senate President Akpabio, leadership is a heavy responsibility, and I know you are shouldering the weight of an immense burden. As Senate President, you carry not only the weight of national decisions but also the weight of public opinion, scrutiny, and the pressures of politics. But amidst this pressure, it’s important to step back and consider what truly matters—your health, your peace of mind, and the well-being of your family.

This ongoing battle, especially with Natasha Akpoti-Udughan, is taking a toll on you. The stress, the sleepless nights, the probable anxiety—they are undeniable. It’s clear that this conflict has worn you down, possibly affecting your mental and physical health. I urge you to consider whether the cost of continuing this struggle is worth the toll it takes on your body and spirit.

Your family, too, is feeling the strain of this conflict. They witness your pain, your struggles, and the emotional weight of this battle. They too are affected. A leader who is worn out—physically, mentally, and emotionally—cannot lead effectively. The Senate needs you to be whole, balanced, and healthy. You owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to prioritize your well-being.

Perhaps, at this point, it’s time to let go of the fight. Allowing Natasha to return would allow you to reclaim your peace, your health, and your leadership. The constant battle, the ongoing stress, and the personal toll are simply not sustainable. Let it go. This decision, as hard as it may seem, could restore harmony to your personal life, your health, and to the Senate as well.

The Futility of Suppression: How Attempting to Silence Natasha Akpoti-Udughan Will Only Lead to Further Harm, Return Her Now

Senate President Akpabio, every attempt to silence Natasha Akpoti-Udughan has only proven futile. No legal maneuver, no gag order, and no institutional attempt to suppress her will ever work. She is not a force that can be controlled or quieted. The more you try to suppress her, the louder her voice becomes.

Her resilience is not something that can be subdued by orders or threats. Every attempt to silence her only serves to reinforce the strength of her message. You may have hoped to shut her down, to diminish her power, but each move you make only strengthens her position. She speaks the truth, and truth cannot be silenced indefinitely.

The damage you are causing by trying to suppress her is becoming more obvious. Each failed tactic exposes your desperation and only amplifies her cause. This battle is no longer just about her; it’s about fairness, justice, and transparency. The more you resist, the more you alienate yourself from the very people you are meant to lead.

Trying to silence Natasha has only intensified her presence. It’s clear that suppression tactics only harm your position and reputation. The only way to bring an end to this conflict is to allow her return. Stop the cycle of suppression and let her be heard.

Breaking Free from Fear: The Judge Switch Exposes Your Insecurities, Return Natasha Akpoti-Udughan Now

Senate President Akpabio, I know the pressures you face are immense. You are not only fighting a public battle but also navigating a web of legal and institutional pressures. But one thing is clear—changing judges in an attempt to tilt the scales is a sign of insecurity. It’s a sign that you are unwilling to face the truth directly.

The more you attempt to manipulate the system, the more you expose your fear. Fear of what Natasha represents: an undeniable challenge to a system that has, for too long, favored the powerful. Fear of what might be revealed if the truth comes to light.

But let me remind you—fear can be transformed into courage. By allowing Natasha’s return, you would show that you are capable of confronting this with grace and humility, that you are willing to rise above the temptation of control. You don’t need to manipulate the system to win. True leadership comes from facing adversity with honesty and integrity, not through fear-based tactics.

It’s time to stop running from the truth. Trust in the strength of your leadership to handle this situation with dignity. The real solution is not in manipulation—it’s in restoration. Allow Natasha to return. Face the truth with courage.

A Force Beyond Control: Natasha Akpoti-Udughan’sResilience Is a Testament to Strength and Courage, Return Her Now

Senate President Akpabio, despite your best efforts to suppress Natasha Akpoti-Udughan, it is clear that she is a force beyond your control. You have underestimated her strength, her courage, and her resolve. Every move you make to suppress her only fuels her determination and makes her cause stronger.

Her resilience is a testament to her integrity. She is standing firm in her truth, and this truth cannot be denied, no matter how hard you try to suppress it.

You cannot defeat integrity. You cannot suppress someone who speaks truth. Natasha’s strength is not something you can control; it is a force that transcends everything you have tried to do. The more you fight to control her, the more you reveal your own vulnerability. The reality is that Natasha has already won. Her voice is louder than any suppression attempt. Her strength is undeniable.

This struggle has gone on for too long. It is time to recognize the futility of further conflict. Allow her to return. It is the only way forward that will allow you to heal, grow, and lead with integrity.

Unyielding in Spirit: Natasha Akpoti-Udughan’s Defiance Reminds Us All of the Power of Integrity, Return Her Now

Senate President Akpabio, I acknowledge the immense pressure you have been under, but it is important to recognize that Natasha Akpoti-Udughan’s resilience is not just a personal victory—it is a testament to the power of integrity. She stands firm in own truth, unwavering despite the forces against her.

Her defiance is not a rejection of authority; it is a call for accountability. Her spirit serves as a reminder to all of us that integrity cannot be suppressed, no matter how hard you try. Her truth is the ultimate challenge to the status quo, and it is a challenge that will not go away, no matter what tactics are employed.

You cannot defeat integrity. You cannot crush a spirit that is grounded in justice. Natasha’s strength is not something you can control; it is a force that transcends everything you have tried to do. The more you fight, the more you expose yourself, and the more you reveal the injustice of this situation.

The time has come for you to allow Natasha to return. Doing so is not a sign of defeat—it is a sign of strength, maturity, and wisdom. It is a chance to show the world that you are willing to take the high road, to restore peace, and to make things right.

The Senate Committee Hearing: A Failed Attempt to Undermine Natasha Akpoti-Udughan’s Case, Return Her Now

The attempt to have a Senate Committee hearing to address Natasha’s case was another attempt to shift the focus, to manipulate the narrative in your favor. Yet, as with all other tactics, this too has failed. The hearing, instead of providing transparency, has only become another spectacle of deflection—a way to avoid confronting the real issues at hand.

Instead of being an honest attempt to address her grievances, the hearing has been weaponized against her. It has become another tool to undermine her, to try to paint her as the problem. But in reality, the hearing has only revealed your continued attempts to control the situation, to make Natasha look like the problem, when in fact, the issue lies in the way the situation has been mishandled from the start.

The attempt to manipulate the system through this hearing has failed. The more you try to deflect, the more you alienate the public. This is not a healthy way to handle a legitimategrievance. Rather than prolonging the conflict through institutional manipulation, the solution is clear: allow Natasha to return to the Senate. Let her be heard. The public will respect you for doing so. They will see that you are capable of risingabove personal grievances and putting the nation first.

This Woman Is Always Ahead of You, Nationally and Globally—Stop the Bleeding, Some Women Don’t Play

Senate President Akpabio, I must admit, this is becoming quite a spectacle. Every time you think you’ve managed to outmaneuver Natasha Akpoti-Udughan, she surprises you, rising above your tactics, and going even further ahead. Nationally, globally—she’s one step ahead, and your every move to suppress her only makes her more visible, more resolute, and more admired.

You may think you’re in control of this situation, but let’s face it—she’s playing a different game, and so far, you’ve been outplayed at every turn. The people see it, the media sees it, and it’s clear to everyone that no matter how many attempts you make to block her, she continues to rise. It’s like watching a chess game where you keep moving backward, and she keeps moving forward.

This isn’t just about politics; it’s about the unyielding strength of one woman who is not afraid to stand up for what’s right. And here’s the reality: some women don’t play. They stand firm, they speak truth, and they will not be silenced. Natasha Akpoti-Udughan has shown time and time again that she is not someone to be taken lightly. She is a force in this fight, and if you don’t stop this now, it will only continue to bleed you dry.

Lift the Suspension Without Apology: A Path to Fairness and Healing

Senate President Godswill Akpabio should lift Natasha Akpoti-Udughan’s suspension without requiring an apology. Such a demand would undermine the integrity of everything Natasha has stood for and would imply that her claims were false. Natasha's resilience is rooted in what she sees as truth, much like many victimized women who fight for justice. For her to apologize would mean denying the very essence of her struggle. Just let it all go—you can’t win this battle with this woman. She has already proven that she will not be silenced. Lifting the suspension and allowing her return would not only de-escalate tensions but would also show a commitment to fairness and gender equality in the Senate. This action would address the concerns about gender bias and affirm that the Senate values honest representation. By letting her return, Akpabio can demonstrate leadership by prioritizing justice over personal grievances and move toward restoring unity and trust within the Senate.

A Moment of Reflection: Time to Stop the Bleeding

Since this ordeal began, it has come to light that you have a chapel in your residence. Given this, I ask you to reflect—perhaps it’s time to take a knee, pray, and truly consider your next steps. Forget the legal advice that has kept you locked in this cycle of conflict. Those guiding you on this path have only fueled the fire, keeping you entrenched in a battle that is not only harming you but damaging the Senate and, ultimately, the nation.

The real question is: what kind of leader do you want to be remembered as? It’s not about more legal strategies, more committee hearings, or more manipulations. All of that will only prolong the pain. What you need now is the courage to step away from the chaos and reflect on what’s best—not for your pride or your ego—but for your health, your legacy, and the people you were chosen to serve.

You’ve been leading with strength, but now it’s time to lead with humility. To lead with the kind of wisdom that comes from looking inward, recognizing the truth, and taking the high road. This is about healing—healing for you, for the Senate, and for the nation. Continuing down this path of retaliation will only deepen the wounds, both personal and institutional.

It’s time to stop the bleeding. Not just for Natasha, but for your own peace of mind, your physical well-being, and the future of your legacy. Take a moment to reflect, to pray, and to recognize that true leadership is about restoring peace, embracing justice, and making decisions that prioritize the greater good.

You have the power to heal this situation. You have the power to end the conflict. Return Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan now. It is the only way forward—toward redemption, toward healing, and toward a future that honors the true principles of leadership.

A Final Call for Restoration: Let It All Go, Let Her Return Now

Senate President Akpabio, I implore you—let it all go. Let go of the pride, the resentment, and the pursuit of control. The burden you carry is heavy, and it is not one that will serve you well in the long run. The longer you hold on to this conflict, the more it weighs down not only your health but your legacy. The struggle to suppress truth has already cost you more than you realize.

Let it all go. The tactics, the battles, the endless back-and-forth. No more maneuvering, no more trying to outwit or outlast Natasha Akpoti-Udughan. She has stood firm, resilient in the face of every attempt to suppress her. Now, it is your turn to stand firm in humility and embrace what is right for the Senate, for the people, and for your own peace of mind.

This is not about saying you are all wrong, and she is all right, but rather about recognizing that this conflict has escalated beyond what was necessary. Let it go. The pressure, the conflict, and the strain—it’s all too much. Let it go.

Let her return now. The people of Nigeria are watching, and the world is paying attention. The moment you allow Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to return is the moment you step into the light of redemption, honor, and true leadership. This is not about admitting defeat; it is about showing the world that you are capable of recognizing when enough is enough.

The nation and the people will hail you—not for being unyielding in the face of personal conflict, but for being brave enough to put the country’s best interest first. They will see you as a leader who has the wisdom to know when to end the struggle, when to restore peace, and when to heal the wounds of division.

In this moment, you have the opportunity to rise above it all, to embrace reconciliation over rivalry, healing over harm. The truth has always been stronger than any tactic. The people respect strength, but they also respect humility. Let it all go, let it all go. The Senate will be better for it. You will be better for it.

It is time. Return Natasha Akpoti-Udughan now. The healing can begin.
