2027: Senator Natasha dares Yahaya Bello, picks PDP form to battle ex-gov for Kogi Central

Senator representing Kogi Central, Senator Natasha H. Akpoti-Uduaghan, has picked up her Expression of Interest and Nomination Form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 Kogi Central Senatorial District election.

This comes barely 48 hours after former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, picked the All Progressives Congress (APC) form for the same Kogi Central election.

Recall that Natasha has vowed not to back down for Bello, insisting that she will contest and win her re-election.

In a post on her Facebook page on Monday, Natasha lauded her husband, Chief Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan, for standing by her.

“If you had said no, I would not have taken this step towards the 2027 Kogi Central Senatorial election.

“But you did not. Instead, you looked into my heart, understood the depth of my purpose in consideration of our people’s calling, and chose to stand firmly beside me.

“By taking it upon yourself, out of your deep and unwavering belief in me, to purchase my 2027 senatorial nomination form, you did far more than support a political ambition,” the lawmaker said in her post.
