Natasha submits PDP senatorial nomination form

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has officially thrown her hat into the ring for the 2027 elections, submitting her Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial nomination forms for Kogi Central. Her move signals a strong intention to secure a second term, building on her first term marked by vocal advocacy and a distinctive presence in the National Assembly. The senator's arrival at the PDP national secretariat, accompanied by a throng of supporters, underscored the enthusiasm surrounding her re-election bid.

Akpoti-Uduaghan's ambition is set against a backdrop of anticipated stiff competition, with former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello widely speculated to be eyeing the same senatorial seat. This potential contest adds a significant layer of political intrigue to the Kogi Central race. The senator, however, remains focused on her commitment to her constituents, emphasizing her dedication to service, the advancement of democratic values, and ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach every community within her district.

“

I remain committed to the service of my people and the advancement of democratic values. This journey is not about personal ambition alone, but about sustaining purposeful representation, youths and women empowerment and ensuring that the dividends of democracy reach every community.

Known for her outspoken style and consistent focus on governance and social issues, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan has consistently championed the development of Kogi Central. Her priorities include improving infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. She views her re-election campaign not merely as a personal ambition but as a continuation of a "movement of hope, inclusion, and progress." Her supporters believe her return to the Senate will solidify ongoing developmental projects and enhance the representation of Kogi Central, further cementing her role as a powerful voice for the region.

“

We have started a movement of hope, inclusion, and progress. By the grace of God and the support of our people, we shall continue to build a future where every citizen feels represented and valued.
