Kogi Central Senatorial Seat: Natasha vs Bello A Fight for the Ages
The battle for Kogi Central’s senatorial seat is heating up, with Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan and former Governor Yahaya Bello going head-to-head in 2027. Senator Natasha, who’s currently representing Kogi Central, has vowed not to back down, saying she’s “not afraid of Yahaya Bello” and is ready for a “reckoning” if they meet on the ballot
On the other hand, Yahaya Bello, who’s served, is determined to reclaim influence and reassert supremacy in Kogi Central. His decision to contest is seen as a move to retain political relevance, consolidate influence in Ebira land, and reposition himself within national power calculations
The contest is shaping up to be a clash between progressive disruption and conservative consolidation, with Senator Natasha riding on her popularity and grassroots support, while Yahaya Bello is leveraging his party dominance and strategic patronage
Who do you think will win? Will Senator Natasha’s momentum be enough to take down Yahaya Bello’s political machine?
