THE Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has presented Certificates of Return to the Governor-elect of Ondo State, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and his deputy, Dr Olayide Adelami.
The event, which took place at the INEC headquarters on Tuesday, had dignitaries including the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and some members of the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, in attendance.
The INEC National Commissioner of Ondo State, Prof. Kunle Ajayi, presented the certificates.
In his remarks, Aiyedatiwa, accompanied by the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, thanked the people of Ondo State for exercising their franchise and renewing his mandate.
“The mandate you have just renewed via your huge votes across the 18 LGAs where we won convincingly has placed a burden on me to serve you better than I did before now,” he stated.
He also thanked President Bola Tinubu, whom he said provided a level playing field for all parties.
While he thanked other stakeholders for their commitment to the electoral process, Aiyedatiwa praised INEC for “conducting a free, fair, transparent, credible, and inclusive election.” – vanguard
