Senator Muhammad Adamu Aliero has been declared winner of Kebbi central senatorial election.

The returning officer, Professor Abbas Yusuf, said Senator Aliero polled 126,588 votes to defeat Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu in the senatorial election. He said Bagudu, who is also Chairman Progressive Governors Forum, scored 92,389 votes.

The elections were held in eight local governments of Gwandu, Bunza, Aliero, Maiyama, Koko-Besse, Jega, Kalgo and Birnin Kebbi which constitute Kebbi central senatorial district.
