Olujimi petitioned the tribunal, seeking declaration that she had the highest number of votes in the election.
The 62-year-old senator therefore urged the tribunal to nullify the PDP candidate’s victory, claiming irregularities in the electoral process.
Subsequently, the tribunal nullified elections in some polling units and declared Olujimi the winner of the election.
