Nearly four years after failing, by a small margin, in his bid to govern Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has overcome the biggest obstacle to his dream.

The Returning Officer for the election and Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Prof. Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, announced that Adeleke got a total of 403,371 votes beating the incumbent, Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress, who got 375,027 votes in a keenly contested race.
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.”
Adeleke got 403,371 votes to defeat his closest contender Adegboyega Oyetola of the APC who got 375,027 votes.
