Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello said he is confident that President Bola Tinubu will be re‑elected without needing to campaign in Kogi in 2027. He made the remark at an endorsement rally supporting both President Tinubu and Kogi Governor Usman Ododo’s bid for a second term. Bello asserted that there is no opposition in the state and that any dissenters will be silenced when the time comes.
He praised Tinubu as a leader who has earned the respect and admiration of the people, and pledged his loyalty to the president even after he leaves office. Bello also highlighted Tinubu’s development projects, appointments in Kogi, and efforts to address insecurity, thanking the president for his support. He commended Governor Ododo, describing his performance as excellent.
The rally served as a significant show of support for Tinubu and Ododo, reflecting the All Progressives Congress’s confidence in the state. With the 2027 elections still pending, Bello’s assurance that Tinubu will win Kogi without campaigning marks a notable development in the local political landscape. As the APC continues to consolidate its base in Kogi, party leaders remain optimistic about their prospects in the upcoming elections. The endorsement rally and Bello’s statements are expected to boost morale among supporters and reinforce the APC’s position as a dominant force in state politics. Tinubu’s administration, focused on infrastructure and security challenges, views Kogi’s backing as a valuable boost to his re‑election bid, while analysts will closely watch the evolving political scene ahead of the 2027 vote.
