In the previous Senate elections, only one of the three incumbent senators were returned as Abdulfatai Buhari (APC-North) was returned while Monsurat Sunmonu (ADC-Central) and Soji Akanbi (ADC-South) were unseated in the general election. Teslim Folarin (PDP) defeated Sunmonu with 33% of the vote while PDP challenger Mohammed Kola Balogun unseated Akanbi with 38%; in the North seat, Buhari was re-elected with 37%. These results were a part of the continuation of the state's competitiveness as the APC won most House of Representatives seats but the PDP won a majority in the state House of Assembly and the governorship in addition to Abubakar narrowly winning the state in the presidential election.
