Kogi West 2027: Sam Aro Loses Key Supporter to Senator Karimi
Political alignments and realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections are beginning to take shape in the Kogi West Senatorial District, with growing activity around the camp of the incumbent senator, Sunday Steve Karimi.
Senator Karimi, widely regarded by supporters as a formidable political force, has continued to strengthen his influence in the district through what many describe as impactful representation and people-oriented leadership.
In a recent development, a former political ally of Sam Aro, Prince Godwin, has dumped the Sam Aro camp to align with Senator Karimi’s political structure.
Sources close to the development said the move followed Sam Aro’s defeat in the party primary election, where he lost to Senator Karimi.
Some political pundits who spoke on condition of anonymity described Senator Karimi as the preferred choice among key stakeholders, citing his leadership style, legislative performance and commitment to grassroots development.
However, Prince Godwin’s defection has generated mixed reactions within the political space, with some questioning his loyalty due to his previous criticism of Senator Karimi.
