Olujimi, who was the Minority Leader in the eighth Senate, replaced the former Senate spokesman, Adedayo Adeyeye, whose election was nullified by the Ekiti State Election Petitions Tribunal in Ado Ekiti and affirmed by the Court of Appeal sitting in Kaduna last week.

Tje Senate President, Dr Ahmad Lawan, who spoke after her inauguration, said with the coming on board of Olujimi, the number of female senators in the ninth Assembly has risen to eight.

He, therefore, called on the senators to work in unity for the advancement of the legislative agenda of the Senate irrespective of sex of members of the upper chamber.
