This is a very good question.

From INEC FAQ page

http://www.inecnigeria.org/?page_id=28


95. Q. Can a person be disqualified from contesting election?

Ans. Yes. A person can be disqualified from contesting election if he/she:

Is a person employed in the public service of the Federation or of any State and has not resigned, withdrawn or retired from such employment thirty (30) days before the date of election
has acquired the citizenship of another country;
has been adjudged to be a lunatic or of unsound mind by any law in force;
is under death sentence imposed on him/her by a competent court of law or tribunal in Nigeria, or sentence of imprisonment or fine for any offence involving dishonesty or fraud or any other offence;
is declared bankrupt;
is within the period of less than ten (10) years before the date of the election, has been convicted and sentenced for an offence involving dishonesty;
is a member of a secret society; or
has presented a forged certificate(s) to the Commission


This means Senator Ademola Adeleke had resigned at 30days or earlier before submitting interest to contest Guber race for Osun. He will therefore not return to Senate.

The Senate seat he vacated belonged to his deceased brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke who died in office. A bye-election in Osun won Ademola a succession to the seat of his dead brother. The Osun West Senatorial seat was won by Isiaka Adeleke (APC) in 2015 to convene the current 8th Senatorial Congress. Because the seat belongs to APC, they may likely not to replace it and just wait for next year to field a candidate for it. In another angle, they may decide to fill it so they can get the numbers for majority in the Congress.
