Prof Ajibola Akanbi, the returning officer for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) made the announcement at the collation centre in Omuaran on Sunday.
Declaring the official result, Akanbi said Sen. Lola Ashiru of the All Progressives Congress (APC) polled a total of 55966, while Sen. Rafiu Ibrahim of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) scored 34950
Prof Wale Suleiman of Social Democratic Party (SDP) polled a total 24215 to come third in the keenly contested election.
