...Hamza Abdullahi Reporting Live from Lokoja..

LOKOJA - KOGI STATE 

As the 2027 Nigeria general elections approach, several Aspirants have started emerging, each with their strengths and weaknesses.

Let's do a roll down of some of the notable contenders for your elucidations ahead of the political intrigues that will start off very soon across Kogi State where the governorship elections always come like a war against the people of the East Coast.

This time around the battle is not about the political parties anymore, it's about the personalities to be presented by the people who vote on election day.

ABUBAKAR IBRAHIM IDRIS: 

Abubakar Ibrahim Idris, the firstborn son of former Kogi State Governor Ibrahim Idris, has been mentioned as a potential aspirant. 

Although he contested once, he lost and has since been inactive in Kogi politics. 

His chances of becoming the governor are slim due to his lack of political influence and experience.

Abubakar Ibrahim Idris 

Ibrahim's inactivity in politics has made him an unfamiliar face to the electorate, and his inability to build a strong political network has hindered his chances. 

Moreover, his family's legacy, although influential, may not be enough to secure him the governorship.

 *Chances: 2/10* 

PRINCE SHAIBU AUDU ABUBAKAR:

Prince Audu Abubakar, the current Minister of Mines and Steel, is another aspirant. 

As the son of former Kogi State Governor Prince Abubakar Audu, he has some level of influence. 

Prince Shuaibu Abubakar Audu

However, his performance as a minister has been underwhelming, and he lacks the political capacity to win his local government area.

Prince Audu's ministerial position has not provided him with the necessary experience to govern a state. 

His inability to deliver tangible results in his ministry has raised questions about his leadership abilities.

 *Chances: 3/10* 

GOVERNOR AHMED USMAN ODODO:

Governor Ododo is the current Governor of Kogi State, known for his financial expertise and experience in auditing and financial management. 

He has a strong educational background, holding a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and a Master's degree in Business Administration. 

Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo 
Kogi State Governor 

His leadership style is focused on inclusive governance, and he has initiated programs like the Governor Ododo Business Outreach (GOBO) to empower small-scale entrepreneurs and vulnerable populations.

His chances of re-election are very slim which is based on his APC party rigging the election that brought him into office and his winning depends on his performance during his current term. 

But will the people from the east neglect their mission to recapture the 

Kogi.

 *Chances: 3/10* 

SENATOR NICOLAS UGBANE:

Senator Nicolas Ugbane, a former senator, has some respect from his people due to his past position. However, his performance during his senatorial tenure was unimpressive, and he may struggle to convince the electorate to support him.

Senator Nicolas Ugbane 

Ugbane's lack of significant achievements during his time as a senator has made it difficult for him to build a strong support base. 

His chances of becoming governor are slim unless he can convincingly demonstrate his ability to lead.

 *Chances: 3/10* 

SENATOR NATACHA AKPOTI UDUGHAN:

Senator Natacha Akpoti Udughan is a strong senator with a huge support base. However, her district's perceived overstay in power might work against her. 

Senator Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan 

The unwritten agreement of rotational power among districts may hinder her chances.

Natacha's strength lies in her popularity and influence. 

However, the rotational power arrangement may force her to step aside, allowing another district to produce the governor.

 *Chances: 3/10* 

DR. ENGR MUSA WADA:

Dr. Engr Musa Wada, brother of former Governor Idris Wada, has contested for the governorship before. 

His past attempt was tagged as a "stolen privilege," which may affect his chances this time around.

Engineer Musa Wada 

Wada's family connection may provide some level of influence, but his past controversy may raise questions about his integrity.

 *Chances: 4/10* 

ABDULRAZAQ BABA-EMEJE:

Abdulrazaq Baba-Emeje is a young and visionary candidate. 

However, he lacks political influence and experience, which are essential for governing a state but can be worked upon.

Abdulrazaq Baba-Emeje 

Baba-Emeje's inexperience may hinder his ability to build a strong support base and navigate the complexities of state governance but if he comes to the biggest opposition party like LP he might end up a very serious contender because he's clean with nothing found on him yet which gives him a clean slate to become.

 *Chances: 4/10* 

RETIRED ADMIRAL USMAN OYIBE JIBRIL :

Admiral Jibril has the financial resources to contest for the governorship. 

However, his advanced age and perceived lack of wisdom to tackle the state's challenges might be a significant drawback.

Admiral Usman Oyibe Jubril 

Jibril's age may raise concerns about his ability to provide the necessary leadership and energy to drive the state's development.

*Chances: 2/10* 

KINGSLEY ILONA IDOKO:

Kingsley Lona Idoko is a young businessman with no political experience. 

Although he has built a successful media career, his lack of political influence and experience may hinder his chances.

Kingsley Ilona Idoko 

Idoko's inexperience in politics may make it difficult for him to build a strong support base and navigate the complexities of state governance.

 *Chances: 2/10* 

HON HASSAN ABDULLAHI BIAWA:

Hon Hassan, brother of a former APC national women leader, lacks the capacity to drive his people's support.

Hon Hassan Abdullahi Biawa

His inability to build a strong political network has hindered his chances.

Hassan's lack of influence and experience may raise questions about his ability to lead the state effectively.

 *Chances: 2/10* 

ABUBAKAR ACHIMUGWU:

Achimugwu, a banker with connections, is not trusted by his people. 

His lack of trustworthiness may hinder his ability to build a strong support base.

Abubakar Achimugwu 

Achimugwu's untrustworthiness may raise concerns about his integrity and ability to lead the state effectively.

 *Chances: 2/10* 

VICTOR ADOJI:

Victor Adoji, a former banker, has financial resources, but his transactional approach to politics may not win him supporters. 

Chief Victor Adoji 

His lack of trustworthiness and perceived selfishness may hinder his chances.

Adoji's approach to politics may raise concerns about his integrity and ability to prioritize the state's interests.

 *Chances: 2/10* 

CHIEF PETER AMEH:

Chief Peter Ameh, a national politician, has influence but lacks grassroots support and funding. 

Chief Peter Ameh 

His inability to connect with the people at the grassroots level may hinder his chances.

Ameh's national influence may not be enough to secure him the governorship, as local politics plays a significant role in Kogi State.

 *Chances: 3/10* 

DR. MOHAMMED SHAIBU TETTES:

Dr. Mohammed Shaibu Tettes, a former senior executive, has a strong administrative background. 

Although he was pushed out of the 2023 governorship race, he remains a viable option for the 2027 election.

Tettes' experience and influence make him a strong contender. 

Dr Mohammed Shaibu Tettes 

His ability to connect with the people and provide quality leadership may make him a favorite among the electorate.

If he joins the opposition Camp he will likely unseat Ododo in 2027.

He must be watched as a solid contender.

Go and do research about this person called Mohamed Shaibu Tettes you will discover that he is also a very clean politician with no wrongs in his name so far.

Kogi needs an absolute special guest personality to run a clean slate in providing good governance and quality leadership to the people.

 *Chances: 6/10* 

MURTALA  AJAKA:

Murtala Ajaka, a former aspirant, was pushed out of the 2023 governorship race. 

Although he has some level of influence, his inability to protect the votes of his people may hinder his chances.

Alhaji Murutala Ajaka 

Ajaka's past controversy may raise questions about his integrity and ability to lead the state effectively.

The people call him a betrayal of the people 

 *Chances: 3/10* 

HON JAMES FALEKE:

Hon James Faleke, a serving representative, has influence but lacks support from his home state. 

Hon James Faleke 

His association with the current administration may also hinder his chances, given the perceived hardship caused by the administration.

Faleke's influence may not be enough to secure him the governorship, as local politics plays a significant role in Kogi State.

 *Chances: 2/10* 

SEN DINO MELAYE:

Sen Dino Melaye, a former senator, has been described as a "deceiving candidate." 

His past controversy and perceived lack of integrity may hinder his chances.

Senator Dino Melaye 

Melaye's ability to connect with the people and provide quality leadership may be questioned, given his past actions.

 *Chances: 2/10* 

SENATOR JIBRIN ISAH ECHOCHO:

Based on the available information we have from first hand information, Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho's chances of becoming the next Governor is going to be too problematic for him to even dear.

Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho 

His Weaknesses are very strong against his person.

Echocho's decision to support Bello against his Igala people has led to widespread hatred and mistrust among the people.

He has been involved in controversies, including a tribunal ruling that sacked him as senator and ordered a re-run election.

Echocho's support base is limited, and he may struggle to garner support from the grassroots level.

His Chances are very poor given the perceived betrayal and controversies surrounding Echocho, his chances of becoming the next Governor of Kogi State in 2027 are very rejecting in all it's ramifications.

While he has experience and a strong educational background, his weaknesses outweigh his strengths, making it challenging for him to win the governorship.

 *Chances: 2/10* 

In conclusion, while several aspirants have emerged, each with their strengths and weaknesses, Dr. Mohammed Shaibu Tettes appears to be a strong contender due to his experience, influence, and ability to provide quality leadership. 

However, the outcome of the election will ultimately depend on various factors, including the electorate's preferences and the performance of each aspirant during the campaign period.
