After Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan came out to apologize to Obiageli ‘Oby’ Ezekwesili for the “insults” she took for her at a Senate Committee hearing on Tuesday, the former Minister of Education said, “a torrent of insults from any source is but a little price to pay in our resolve to see a Nigerian that Becomes”.
Ezekwesili clashed with senator representing Ebonyi North Senatorial District, Onyekachi Nwaebonyi during a Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions hearing on a fresh petition submitted by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan against Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan tweeted: ““Dr. @obyezeks , Ma’am, I apologise for the insults. Know you took them for me… for us … as a mother and as a leader. Know that you are a true icon of integrity, courage, and visionary leadership. Your unwavering commitment to good governance, education and democracy continues to inspire generations. A champion of accountability…Nigerians appreciate you. I celebrate your brilliance, resilience and selfless service. You are a hero.”
Ezekwesili responded: “Very kind words, dear Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan @NatashaAkpoti !
“Yet to me, a torrent of insults from any source is but a little price to pay in our resolve to see a Nigerian that Becomes.
“Our daughters and granddaughters must never inherit battles and wars we should have fought and won for them.
“An unjust society that silences women and vulnerable people can never Become.
“We all must refuse that for Nigeria.
“We STAND ON!”
