==Senate of Nigeria==
Ibrahim Mohammed Bomai was elected on the nineteenth of February 2019 as the senator representing [[Yobe South Senatorial District]]. On 25 February 2023, he was reelected as a senator to serve in the 10th Senate. However, the election was declared inconclusive, and a supplementary poll on 15 April 2023, took place, during which he was declared the winner and was returned as elected.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://tribuneonlineng.com/supplementary-poll-bomai-clinches-yobe-south-senatorial-seat/ | title=Supplementary poll: Bomai clinches Yobe South senatorial seat | date=15 April 2023 }}</ref><ref>[https://www.inecnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/2019-GENERAL-ELECTIONS-LIST-OF-ELECTED-CANDIDATES-TO-THE-SENATE.pdf 2019 general elections.

==Constituency Project controversy==
While on a standard review of constituency projects in September 2021, the [[Independent Corrupt Practices Commission]] found that issues with Bomai's projects. First, a [[borehole]] supposed to have been dug in the Sabongari area of [[Nangere|Nangere LGA]] was never dug while other boreholes were dug in the wrong communities or with substandard generators. The other project that the ICPC inspection team flagged was a missing generator that had been stolen from the college it was given to. The inspection team leader ordered the contractor to fix the borehole issues and said the commission would work for the return of the stolen generator.<ref>{{cite web |title=Constituency Project: ICPC finds no borehole, stolen generator in Yobe |url=https://gazettengr.com/constituency-project-icpc-finds-no-borehole-stolen-generator-in-yobe/ |website=[[Peoples Gazette]] |date=3 September 2021 |access-date=16 September 2021}}</ref>
However, the Legislative Aide to the Senator in an interview with sunshinefmng.com has illuminated the allegations concerning the execution of the constituency projects. The aide has stressed that the claims rest upon incorrect and deceptive information. Detailed clarifications have been provided by the aide regarding the borehole projects, generator installations, and the missing transformer. These explanations serve to elucidate the situations and firmly establish that Senator Bomai holds no responsibility for these matters.<ref>{{cite web | last=Achimugu | first=Omale John | title=Senator Bomai’s Aide clarifies Allegations Surrounding Bomai’s Constituency Projects | website=SUNSHINE FM 104.5 POTISKUM - | date=2023-07-26 | url=https://sunshinefmng.com/senator-bomais-aide-clarifies-allegations-surrounding-bomais-constituency-projects/}}</ref>
