Yahaya Bello Wins APC Senatorial Primary For Kogi Central by adenigga(op): 8:08am On May 19
A former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has won the All Progressives Congress senatorial primary for Kogi Central in a decisive victory on Monday.

The direct primary election was conducted across the five local government areas that make up the Kogi Central senatorial district.

The Returning Officer, Dr Sadiq Mohammed, announced the results at the collation centre in Okene, describing the exercise as orderly and credible.

Mohammed said Bello polled 72,399 votes, defeating Ibrahim Adoke, who scored 319 votes, and Momoh Yusuf Obaro, who garnered 188 votes.

He added that Bello recorded overwhelming victories across all five local government areas in the district.

In Adavi Local Government Area, Bello secured 18,341 votes, while he scored 10,298 votes in Ajaokuta Local Government Area.


He also garnered 5,146 votes in Ogori Local Government Area, consolidating his wide margin in the contest.

Further results showed Bello polled 8,943 votes in Okehi and 29,621 votes in Okene, his strongest base.

The returning officer said the total of 72,399 votes confirmed a clear and decisive mandate for Bello across the district.

He noted that the process reflected the party’s commitment to internal democracy and peaceful conduct during the primary election.

The outcome positions Bello as the APC flagbearer for the Kogi Central senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections. (NAN)

Very absurd especially that Okowa of a man. I really wish any other strong opposition can defeat especially those two, Okowa and Bello.

A man who have not been cleared by the court for stealing billions of Naira of public money is winning a primary election.
How was he screened in the first place?
How did he pass his screening?
Why is the EFCC silent.
This can only happen in Nigeria.
When we say Nigeria is useless, some will say why are we demarketing Nigeria.
Nigeria is practically dead and useless.
We need a new country.

Corrupt, thief, inhumane Yahaya Bello again. Nawa ooo

It's time for me to engage in politics. Transforming this country is a challenge we can tackle.

The current & the past government officials have proven to be ineffective, and it's clear we need fresh, capable leadership. Let's step up and take charge of our future.

Re: Yahaya Bello Wins APC Senatorial Primary For Kogi Central by koxyz:
Politics without morality, a product of pure political calculation.

As a former governor, who has good structure on ground coupled with the fact that he understands the terrain, he should be able to gervanise votes for the president. Since the two elections will run concurrently.

This is a very sad statement to make and only shows that Nigerians are really indefensible. You are using a thief to justify why another thief should walk about free.

Nigeria will soon begin to work the way it ought, and when that happens people like you will either conform to good behaviour or find yourselves behind bars.

Why do you people push each other over politicians, opposition against our political bandits shouldn't be reduced to tribal fights.

Charity begins at home.

As much as I am never going to defend yaya Bello, you who has a serving senator with a conviction on his head , should channel your energies to seeing people like that never get anywhere near public office.
