A video has surfaced on social media showing the moment Senator Ademola Adeleke, a candidate for the People's Democratic Party, bowed down for Adedeji Adeleke, the father of Nigerian singer Davido, after the Independent National Electoral Commission declared him the victor of the Osun governorship election.
In a closely contested race, Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress finished second with 375,027 votes, while Adeleke received a total of 403,371 votes, according to the Returning Officer for the election and Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe.
He said, “I declare Adeleke Ademola Jackson Nurudeen, on behalf of the chairman of INEC, of the PDP, having satisfied the requirement of the law, is hereby declared the winner and he is returned elected.”
According to the total votes recorded by the electoral umpire, the PDP won 17 of the 30 Local Government Areas of the state, while the APC won the remaining 13.
The PDP won in Ede North, Ede South, Ifelodun, Boluwaduro, Egbedore, Odo Otin, Osogbo, Ila, Atakumosa West, Olorunda, Ilesa West, Obokun, Oriade, Orolu, Ife North, Irepodun, and Ejigbo LGAs.
