The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has presented a certificate of return to Senator Ademola Adeleke, the winner of the recently held governorship election in Osun State.
Adeleke was presented with the certificate of return on Wednesday at the INEC state headquarters, Osogbo.
In his acceptance speech, Adeleke commended INEC for the conduct of the election, and appreciated the “good people of Osun for trusting him with their votes.”
Recall that Adeleke’s nephew, David Adeleke, aka Davido, had called out the electoral umpire over the delay in issuing the certificate of return to his uncle.
Adeleke, who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate polled 403,371 votes to defeat incumbent governor, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress(APC), who garnered 375,027 votes.
He will be inaugurated on November 27, 2022, when the tenure of Oyetola will come to an end.
