As reported by DAILY POST, Senator Alli, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had been announced the winner of the senatorial race that took place on Saturday, 25th February, as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).NYSC Portal
However, the legitimacy of Senator Alli’s triumph was contested at the tribunal by candidates Joseph Tegbe of the Peoples Democratic Party and Funmilayo Gbogbolomo from the New Nigeria Peoples Party. Notably, the tribunal had previously ratified Senator Alli‘s win, subsequently dismissing the allegations brought forward by the PDP and NNPP representatives.JAMB Result
