Speaking on the Mic On Podcast, she said she is “not intimidated by Bello” and expressed confidence that, if she runs and appears on the ballot alongside the ex‑governor, “bring it on.” She added that she is not scared of him but rather serves as his political challenge.
Akpoti‑Uduaghan also addressed rumors that Senate President Godswill Akpabio had removed some of her constituency projects. She confirmed that “someone removed my projects,” but did not provide further details.
Her statements come as she continues to navigate the complex political landscape of Kogi State. As a prominent regional figure, her comments are being closely watched by constituents and political opponents alike.

In the broader context of Nigerian politics, the relationship between Akpoti‑Uduaghan and Bello is significant. Bello’s influence in the state remains considerable, and her willingness to challenge him directly is notable. Any electoral contest between the two would likely have major implications for the balance of power in Kogi.
As Kogi’s political environment evolves, Akpoti‑Uduaghan’s remarks are seen as a significant development. Her confidence may resonate with supporters, while critics could interpret her statements as aggressive. Regardless, her words add a new layer of complexity to the state’s dynamics, and her future actions will be closely monitored by observers and constituents alike.
