Reverend Amos Kumai Yohanna is the Senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial District in the 10th Nigerian Senate.

Sworn into office in October 2023, Yohanna is a theology scholar, pastor, and public administrator who spent nearly two decades serving in Christian development and pilgrim administration at both state and federal levels. He reclaimed the Adamawa North seat following a landmark Court of Appeal judgment that removed the initially declared winner.
