It seems the broomstick of APC has swept incumbent governor to vitory. Rauf Aregbesola won in 24 local government areas of the 30 local government areas in the state to maintain a clear lead. His closest rival and the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Iyiola Omisore, garnered 292,750 votes to occupy second position.
He won in six local government areas. The Labour Party’s candidate, Mr. Fatai Akinbade, occupied a distant third position. He won no local government area.
The local government areas won by Aregbesola were Ifedayo, Boripe, Orolu, Atakunmosa West, Ilesa West, and Ilesa East. He also won in Ayedade, Ayedire, Ede North, Ede South, Egbedore, Ejigbo, Ifelodun, and Ila local government areas.
Others were Irepodun, Irewole, Iwo, Obokun, Ola Oluwa, Olorunda, Oriade, and Osogbo.
Omisore won in Odo-Otin, Bolowaduro, Ife Central, Ife East, Ife North, Ife South, Isokan, and Iwo.
The announcement of the results brought to a climax the hype and excitement that preceded the Saturday event. Although the accreditation was scheduled to commence by 8am, voters were already at the various polling units as early as 6.30am waiting for INEC officials.
