The controversial Senator who contested the election under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was declared winner of the February 23 election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
However, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Smart Adeyemi challenged his victory in court and won.
Adeyemi’s case had been built on three grounds of irregularities, overvoting and non-compliance with the electoral acts.
