Adepoju subsequently ordered for a fresh election for the federal constituency.

In September, the election petition tribunal had ruled that Abdulmumin was the winner of the house of representatives election in the constituency.

As a result, Yako and his party had dragged Abdulmumin and the APC before the appellate court, citing alleged irregularities in the judgement delivered by the tribunal.
