FORMER Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has expressed confidence that he will secure a massive vote and decisive victory in the 2027 Kogi Central Senatorial District election.
News Point Nigeria reports that Bello made the declaration during an interview on Politics Sunday, a programme on TVC, while expressing confidence in his chances ahead of the election.

Asked whether he could defeat the incumbent senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, whom the interviewer controversially described as a popular opponent, Bello said the election would determine his political standing.
“The result will speak for itself,” he said.
When asked whether he remained popular enough to retain his nickname, the “White Lion,” the former governor replied, “Let the day come and go.”
Pressed on what election day would bring, Bello declared, “Massive vote. Decisive victory.”
He subsequently clarified that the anticipated victory would be for himself and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bello, who governed Kogi State from 2016 to 2024, is seeking a return to elective office by representing Kogi Central Senatorial District in the Senate in 2027.
