Kogi PDP Chieftain Abdullahi Declares Senate Bid for 2027

Muhammad Abdullahi, a chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State, formally declared his intention to contest for the Kogi East senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections during an announcement in Abuja on Sunday. His bid aims to unseat the incumbent senator Jibrin Isah of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who is preparing for a third-term run.

Abdullahi's entry into the race is expected to intensify political activity in the region, which has historically seen fierce competition between major parties, particularly the PDP and APC. In his declaration, Abdullahi pledged to prioritize the welfare of his constituents and deliver measures for development.

He emphasized his commitment to serving the people of Kogi East with sincerity and a clear vision for progress. Abdullahi highlighted his past interventions, including improvements in access to potable water and financial support for education and small-scale businesses, and expressed his readiness to champion grassroots initiatives.
