It goes without saying that the forthcoming senatorial election in Kogi central slated for February 2019 promises to be a titanic battle between the APC candidate, Alh. Yakubu Oseni, PDP candidate, Ogembe and the SDP candidate, Natasha Akpoti. However, political pundits are of the view that Alh. Oseni will have an easy run because of his formidable structure that cuts across every nook and cranny of Kogi Central.
The candidate of PDP, senator Ogembe, will find it difficult to return to the office because of his perceived non-performance in the Senate under this democratic dispensation. Observers are of the view that the candidate of SDP, Natasha, may make an impact in the election given her acceptance in Ihima and dominance of the social media. However, the Goliath that she may have to slay is lack of structure by her party in Kogi central where APC and the PDP are the dominant parties ab initio, the candidate of APC has successfully built a reputation as a goal getter, team player, faithful party member and the man of the people whose popularity across Kogi central is flowing like rivers Niger and Benue at a time like this when a man with a good head and heart is a winning ticket in Ebiraland.
Alhaji Oseni’s philanthropy cuts across Kogi central, recall that he had given over two hundred graduates and professionals from Kogi central employment into the Kogi State internal Revenue Services under his watch. His foot soldiers across Kogi central are waiting patiently for the kick off of his campaign train.
Alhaji Oseni told this journalist in an exclusive interview in Lokoja that his campaign would be centered on ideas and issues of contemporary developmental needs of the people of Kogi central.
Here is wishing Yakubu Oseni a successful outing in the forthcoming election that will define politics in Kogi central
