Despite days of political tension and speculation over his eligibility, former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has secured victory in the APC senatorial primary, clearing a major hurdle ahead of the 2027 elections.
Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has emerged victorious in the APC primary for the Kogi Central Senatorial seat ahead of the 2027 elections.
According to cbinews.tv, the primary election held on Monday saw Bello defeat two other aspirants — APC Diaspora Secretary, Momoh Obaro, and Ibrahim Yakubu Adoke.
The outcome comes after days of intense political speculation within APC circles, with rumours suggesting Bello’s screening process may have faced complications that could affect his eligibility for the race. However, the former governor pushed through the uncertainty to secure the party’s ticket.
Political observers say Bello’s victory is likely to reshape the political landscape in Kogi ahead of the 2027 general elections, as attention now turns to the next phase of the contest.
