Former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello said he secured a “massive vote” and a decisive win in the 2027 election for the Kogi Central Senatorial District, defeating his opponent Natasha.
Bello, who served as governor of Kogi State from 2016 to 2023, has been a prominent figure in the state’s politics and is now contesting the Senate seat that covers the central part of the state.
Kogi Central is one of three senatorial districts in Kogi State, located in Nigeria’s north‑central region. The district includes several local government areas and has been a competitive arena in past elections.
In a statement reported by Punch, Bello boasted that his victory was “decisive” and that he had garnered a “massive vote” over Natasha, though the article did not provide specific vote counts or percentages.
The claim comes as the 2027 senatorial elections conclude across Nigeria, with the Independent National Electoral Commission expected to certify results in the coming weeks.
