… community projects; backers say will make him “purposeful representation”
Comr. HASSAN SHUAIBU OHIMOZI, of the African Democratic Congress, is emerging as a top contender for the Kogi West Senatorial seat ahead of the 2027 election, with supporters pointing to his record of service and grassroots reach.
Hassan, an upwardly mobile young man who has paid his dues in public service and community development, is widely regarded as a bridge between the old and young political generation in Kogi West. Allies argue that his background and experience give him the political depth to “reposition” the district and deliver effective representation.
Beyond politics, Hassan is credited with youth empowerment schemes, education sponsorships for tertiary students, and community development projects across Kogi West. Supporters describe him as accessible, noting his regular consultations with grassroots leaders, traditional institutions, and cultural groups.
His work has drawn recognition for contributions to public service and community welfare, with many constituents citing his commitment to transparency and accountability.
Political groups including Okun For Unity and Equity have already declared support for Hassan, framing his potential candidacy as a push for “cohesion, stability, and purposeful representation.”
Backers argue that a Senate platform would expand his capacity to influence policy nationally while consolidating support for development in Kogi West at home.
Hassan’s campaign narrative centers on transparency, accountability, and what aides call “servant leadership.” His record, they say, shows a preference for dialogue over confrontation and results over rhetoric.
For many constituents, the message is simple: “The reward for hard work is more work.” Supporters believe the National Assembly would give Hassan broader latitude to protect the interests of Kogi West people and attract federal attention to the district’s development needs.
The Kogi LG born indigene since his intention to declare has changed the political equation, remains a force to be reckoned with, remains a game changer in the political space of Kogi West.
