A video has emerged on social media showing Senator Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, prostrating for Adedeji Adeleke, father of Nigerian artist Davido, after the Independent National Electoral Commission proclaimed him victor of the Osun governorship race.
Recall that the Returning Officer for the election, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, announced that Adeleke received 403,371 votes, defeating the incumbent, Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, who received 375,027 votes in a hotly contested race.
According to the total votes counted by the electoral umpire, the PDP won 17 of the state’s 30 LGAs, while the APC won the remaining 13.
He said, “I declare Adeleke Ademola Jackson Nurudeen, on behalf of the chairman of INEC, of the PDP, having satisfied the requirement of the law, is hereby declared the winner and he is returned elected.”
Ede North, Ede South, Ifelodun, Boluwaduro, Egbedore, Odo Otin, Osogbo, Ila, Atakumosa West, Olorunda, Ilesa West, Obokun, Oriade, Orolu, Ife North, Irepodun, and Ejigbo LGAs were all won by the PDP.
Ademola immediately got down on the floor and prostrated himself to his brother in response to the announcement.
