Even though other lawmakers were officially inaugurated into the chamber on June 11, APC's Uwajumogu had to wait for nearly two months as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it was investigating allegations of irregularities regarding his victory.

He was eventually awarded his certificate of return on Thursday, July 25 following a favourable ruling from an Abuja Federal High Court.

The upper legislative chamber has a total of 109 seats with 3 Senators from each of the 36 states plus one from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
