The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa has won the election held in his unit.
Aiyedatiwa scored 128 in the result announced by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at Unit 5 Ward 4, Obenla in Ilaje local government area of the state.
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Hon. Agboola Ajayi, scored 3 votes at the polling unit.
Meanwhile, Aiyedatiwa has vowed to acknowledge defeat if he loses Saturday’s poll.
Aiyedatiwa, however, said he would concede defeat if the governorship election is free and fair.
He disclosed this while addressing journalists after casting his vote at polling unit 05, Igbo Ward 4, Obenla in Ilaje LGA of the state.
Aiyedatiwa said reports from his aides showed that the election has been largely peaceful in some other units of the state.
“If the outcome of the poll does not favour my party, APC, as long as we did not receive any report that it (poll) was fraudulent in any way.
“Why not? We will accept defeat. But if we notice any practices and non-compliance of the procedures.
“The only thing is to go to the tribunal to challenge that. By and large, if it goes that way, I will accept the outcome of the election.”
