Governor Aiyedatiwa Declared Winner Of Ondo APC Primary Election

The leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress has declared Mr Lucky Aiyedatiwa as the winner of the party’s governorship primary election in Ondo State.

The incumbent governor’s victory was affirmed after he was said to have scored a total of 48,569 votes in the primaries.

His closest challenger, Mayowa Akinfolarin, polled 15,343 votes while Olusola Oke came third with 14,865 votes.

Ahmed Ododo, Chairman of the Governorship Primary Election Committee and Governor of Kogi State, pronounced Aiyedatiwa as the winner early Monday morning.

“I can confirm that the direct mode of primary election adopted in the 2024 Ondo state governorship primary elections held in all 203 electoral wards in all the 18 LGAs in Ondo state,” Ododo said while announcing the winner in a viral video seen on X.

It was gathered Aiyedatiwa won in 16 of the 18 LGAs losing out in Ilaje LGA to third-placed Oke.

 Meanwhile, SaharaReporters had reported several incidents of violence that marred the election in Ifedore leading to cancellation of results there.

Some of the stakeholders who participated in the primary election in Ondo State had also cried foul over how the election committee handled the electoral process.

 

The aggrieved party members alleged that the committee which was headed by Ododo was biased in the assignment.

A female aspirant in the primary election on Sunday called for the cancellation of the poll over alleged irregularities.

For clarity, I have presented my submissions in bullet points, titled “15 Points to Know on the Osun Local Government Crisis.” Here are the points:  1. Governor Ademola Adeleke lied when he claimed he did not sack the council chairmen and councillors he met when he assumed office.   2. On the 28th of November,  2022, barely 24 hours after his swearing-in, his CPS, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, issued a statement directing the most senior career heads ac...
