Comer expects McConnell to return with Senate after Labor Day

In Kogi Central, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is actively mobilising voters for the re-election of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan in the 2027 general elections, according to a campaign director. The PDP's Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mike Idoko, announced the mobilisation in Abuja. The party's grassroots strength in Kogi Central, comprising Adavi, Ajaokuta, Okehi, Okene and Ogori-Magongo local government areas, is being highlighted by leaders like Salami Etudaiye.

The campaign DG emphasised that Akpoti-Uduaghan's first tenure provided citizens an opportunity to evaluate her performance, capacity, and representation style, and the 2027 election would allow her to deepen her legislative representation and pursue socio-economic development programmes. Supporters, including youths, women, and party loyalists, staged a solidarity road walk in Okehi to rally behind Akpoti-Uduaghan and other PDP candidates, underscoring their determination to continue supporting the senator and the party's goals.
