Background
In the previous Senate elections, none of the three incumbent senators were returned with Olusola Adeyeye (APC-Central) and Babajide Omoworare (APC=East) losing renomination while Ademola Adeleke (PDP-West) retired. In the East district election, Francis Adenigba Fadahunsi gained the seat for the PDP with 50% of the vote while Ajibola Basiru (APC) retained the East district for his party with 54%. In the West district, Adelere Adeyemi Oriolowo (APC) gained the seat with 41% of the vote. The senatorial results were a continuation of slight APC control in the state as the party also won most House of Representatives seats and won a majority in the House of Assembly, in addition to Buhari winning the state in the presidential election.
