The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has issued certificates of return to Ondo State Governor-elect Lucky Aiyedatiwa and his deputy Adelami Olayide.

The certificates were presented in Abuja on Wednesday by the supervisory national commissioner for Ondo State Prof. Kunle Ajayi.

This follows INEC’s declaration of Aiyedatiwa as the winner of the governorship election held on Saturday, just four days prior.

Aiyedatiwa, representing the All Progressives Congress (APC), defeated Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and 15 other candidates.

He won across all 18 local government areas of the state, securing 366,781 votes, compared to Ajayi’s 117,845 votes.
