The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is set to officially present Certificates of Return to the Ondo State Governor-elect, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and his deputy.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place on Wednesday at INEC’s headquarters in Abuja.
The Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, confirmed this development. He stated, “The certificates of return would be presented by INEC to the governor-elect and his deputy on Wednesday at the commission’s headquarters.”
The presentation follows Aiyedatiwa’s victory in the recently concluded Ondo governorship election. The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate emerged as the winner with 366,781 votes, defeating his closest rival, Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who secured 117,845 votes.
This formal recognition by INEC signifies the conclusion of the electoral process and the commencement of preparations for the incoming administration.
