Abubakar Sadiku Ohere
Senator, Kogi Central (Senatorial) · APC
Abubakar Sadiku Ohere of the APC represented Kogi Central Senatorial District in the 10th Senate from inauguration on 13 June 2023 until November 2023, when he was removed following a Court of Appeal judgment that upheld the election tribunal's finding that results in nine Ajaokuta LGA polling units had been manipulated. His effective legislative tenure lasted approximately five months, during which he chaired the Senate Committee on Local Content. No independently verified bills in his name passed into law and the brevity of his tenure sharply limits any measurable legislative or constituency output. Since vacating the seat, Ohere has conducted personal empowerment activities in Kogi Central — including a vocational training programme in October 2024 and payment of WAEC and JAMB fees for students — but these are not products of the senatorial mandate. On integrity, his tenure ended under a judicial finding of electoral irregularity that the Court of Appeal declined to disturb. His record rates weak overall, driven primarily by the brevity of tenure and the absence of verifiable legislative output; the narrow vote margin and court proceedings are noted as contextual factors affecting delivery rather than personal misconduct.
No court or anti-graft case on public record in this archive as of compilation. Absence of a record is not a clearance.
