Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has formally declared his intention to contest the Kogi Central Senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.

This positioned Bello for a contest to unseat the incumbent lawmaker, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.

Bello made the declaration during a courtesy visit to the palace of the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, where he engaged with traditional rulers, religious leaders and other key stakeholders from the senatorial district.

While addressing the gathering, the former governor said he had accepted calls from supporters to vie for the Senate and expressed his willingness to represent Kogi Central at the National Assembly. “I accept to run for the Senate in 2027,” he stated.

The event was attended by Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, as well as several political leaders and community representatives.

Bello served as governor of Kogi State from 2016 to 2024.

The Kogi Central Senatorial District is currently represented by Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan, who won the seat in the 2023 general elections under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
