How Yahaya Bello Shuts Down PDP Office In Okene To Weaken Natasha Akpoti’s Chances For Senate Seat


In another move to strangle the opposition political parties in Kogi State, Governor Yahaya Bello of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has shut down the central office of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

Akpoti ran for the post of senator for Kogi Central Senatorial District under the Social Democratic Party in 2019.

In 2019, she was a governorship candidate in the state, challenging Bello. In May, Akpoti won the PDP primary election for the 2023 Kogi Central Senatorial District, to go against the ruling APC’s Abubakar Ohere, among others.

“As a way to clamp down on the opposition, Yahaya Bello shut down PDP’s central office in Kogi to stop Natasha Akpoti’s campaign for Senate. Natasha is from Okene and that is her strong base,” a source privy to the matter told SaharaReporters on Thursday.

Another source confirmed the clampdown, recounting that Bello had publicly warned the opposition that he would give them hell ahead of the elections.
