The Kogi Central Senatorial Candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator Ahmed Ogembe has urged the electorates to rally behind his candidacy, assuring he is more experienced than the other candidates in the race.
Senator Ogembe stated this while addressing newsmen after his official declaration as the winner of the ADC primary election in the district.
The former Senator seeking return to the red chamber would be facing major opponents in the incumbent Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, and former Governor of the state, Yahaya Bello, who are candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PD) and All Progressives Congress (APC) respectively.
“I am the most experienced in the race as we speak. Check other candidates that are in the race with me, none understand the job better than I. It is either one is learning the ropes or another trying to become a newbie in the national assembly.
“I have walked this terrain before, long before any of the senatorial candidates currently eyeing the seat in 2027. I have contested and won election in the senate before now, so I understand what it takes to win.
“During the 2023 general elections, I was still in the Peoples Democratic Party. I stood firmly with the party’s candidate because I wanted to ensure Kogi Central make history as the first zone to elect a female senator and I fulfilled that dream. Today, Kogi central can take her rightful place of pride in the state,” he said.
The ADC senatorial candidate said he is the most accessible politician the electorate can bank upon.
“As a former local government chairman, I understand the feeling and aspirations of my people better than others vying for the senate seat. Also, I am the most accessible candidate. That is not in doubt.
“2027 presents a defining moment for the future of our people. I will not indulge in any grandiose illusion. I am a practical servant of the people. I say what I will do, and do exactly what I say. The people can attest to this about my person.
“It is a new dawn in Kogi Central senatorial district. I will not disappoint my people,” he added.
Senator Ogembe assured the people of Kogi Central of real representation that is aligned with their dreams and aspirations.
He promised to lead ADC to victory in 2027, adding that the forthcoming election is a familiar turf for him.
