PDP Chieftain Abdullahi Declares for Senate in Kogi East Ahead of 2027 Polls

The political landscape of Kogi East senatorial district is set for a potential shake-up as Muhammad Abdullahi, a prominent figure within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has officially declared his bid for the Senate in the 2027 general elections. This move signals a direct challenge to the incumbent, Jibrin Isah of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), who is reportedly preparing for his third term. The Kogi East district, known for its vibrant political contests, is poised for another keenly watched electoral battle.

“

I am stepping forward to serve my people with sincerity, dedication and a clear vision for progress. Kogi East deserves quality representation at the Red Chamber, and I am committed to attracting meaningful development to our land.

Abdullahi's declaration, made in Abuja, underscores his commitment to serving the people of Kogi East. He articulated a vision centered on prioritizing the welfare of his constituents and delivering tangible development. His campaign is expected to focus on his track record of grassroots interventions, which he believes demonstrates his readiness for the responsibilities of a senator. These past initiatives include providing essential amenities like motorized boreholes, facilitating religious pilgrimages, offering educational scholarships, and supporting local entrepreneurs.

“

For years, I have remained committed to touching lives across Kogi East. This is not just about politics; it is about service, sacrifice and sustainable development for our people.

As political realignments begin to take shape across Nigeria ahead of the 2027 polls, Abdullahi's entry into the senatorial race adds another dynamic element. He has appealed to party faithful and voters for support, promising inclusive leadership and a fair distribution of resources. His campaign message emphasizes service, sacrifice, and sustainable development, aiming to resonate with the electorate's desire for effective representation and progress in the Kogi East senatorial district.

Our people deserve opportunities — access to education, empowerment for businesses and basic infrastructure that improves daily living. These are priorities I will continue to champion.
