- INEC uploaded 92.09 per cent of the results from polling units
Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, candidate of All Progressives Congress in Saturday’s governorship election in Ondo State is leading in all the 13 LGAs results announced so far by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Final collation commenced at the INEC office in Akure, the state capital, around 12: 35 am.
Besides INEC, had uploaded 92.09 per cent of the results from polling units. Out of 3,933 polling units across the state, INEC uploaded the results of 3,622 units to its portal.
The results, however, showed that Aiyedatiwa was ahead of his closest rival, Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Lokoja, Prof Olayemi Akinwunmi, and the Returning Officer of the exercise after declaring the results from the 13 Council areas said it will reconvene by 5am for the remaining results from five LGAs — Akure north, Okitipupa, Odigbo, Ilaje and Ese-Odo.
Earlier, PDP candidate, Ajayi berated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), for not living up to expectations of the masses over its alleged poor performance.
He specifically asked the INEC chairman, Prof Yakub Mahmood, to resign if he could not conduct a credible election.
Ajayi said, “I think Nigerians should call on the chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu. If he cannot do the job, he should just resign. This is embarrassing. This is sad and Nigerians are not happy.”
