The emergence of Engr. Abubakar Ohere as Kogi Central Senatorial Candidate of the APC in the just-concluded APC Primaries did not come as a surprise to those who have been following Kogi Politics since 2015 when Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello became the Governor of the State.


Engr. Ohere, until yielding his people's call to represent them in his Senatorial district, was part of the few outstanding men who stood with and served under the White Lion; Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello of Kogi State for the first tenure of 2015 to 2019, and the second of 2019 to recently.

As a servant to his people, he was considered a bulldozer of developments, and an attractor of befitting globalisation, under the astute leadership of the Governor. It is believed by his people that his tenure in the Red Chamber will not only usher in developments, but also, birth a unique and ideal way of doing things.


Engr. Ohere's unwavering loyalty to the Governor and the people of Kogi State, and his knack for development, have been said to be his most-loved traits so far. 

As a Special Assistant, and later a commissioner, he initiated the lofty plans of the Governor efficiently, and carried feedbacks to him from his people. It is no wonder, the Governor blessed the call of his people to have him represent them in the Red Chamber come 2023.

The 2023 elections may be months away, but the people of Kogi Central are pleased and elated that they will have a trusted and tested man in the ballot to vote for, with no reason to consider another.
