reports that Bello is set to contest for the Kogi Central senatorial seat under the APC platform.

He was reportedly adopted as the party’s consensus candidate after picking up the nomination forms on Saturday, signalling early political realignments within the ruling party.

Bello is expected to face the incumbent senator, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in what is shaping up to be a highly competitive race.

The contest is likely to revive the longstanding political tension between both figures, which dates back to her initial interest in the senatorial seat during Bello’s time as governor.
