EKO HOT BLOG reports that the development came barely 48 hours after former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, picked the All Progressives Congress forms to contest the same Kogi Central seat.
In a post shared on her Facebook page on Monday, the lawmaker praised her husband, Emmanuel Oritsejolomi Uduaghan, for supporting her decision to seek re-election. She said his encouragement played a key role in her decision to proceed with the ambition.
She wrote, “If you had said no, I would not have taken this step towards the 2027 Kogi Central Senatorial election.
“But you did not. Instead, you looked into my heart, understood the depth of my purpose in consideration of our people’s calling, and chose to stand firmly beside me.
“By taking it upon yourself, out of your deep and unwavering belief in me, to purchase my 2027 senatorial nomination form, you did far more than support a political ambition.”
The senator had earlier stated that she would not step down for Bello, insisting she would contest and win re-election.
