Governor Dapo Abiodun Re-Elected In Ogun | MarvelTvUpdates

The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has been reelected for a second term of four years.

Abiodun is the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress.

The Independent National Electoral Commission declared Abiodun as the winner of the governorship election on Sunday.

Dapo scores 276, 298, PDP 262, 383 and ADC 94, 754.

Meanwhile, before Abiodun was announced as the winner of the poll, PDP collation agent, Sunkanmi Oyejide, cautioned the electoral umpire declaring the winner for the election.

Oyejide said the INEC should consider a clause in the Electoral Act (amended) that orders the commission to declare a rerun in the case of total rejected votes outnumbered the lead margin.

This was raised shortly after the Sagamu collation officer, Prof. Oluwagboyega Afolabi, presented the scores of the political parties in the council.

Afolabi had said that 15 polling units were canceled as a result of violence during the governorship election on Saturday.

The PDP agent however raised an observation against further submission of the copy of the results.

Oyejide said no fewer than 33,750 voters in Sagamu, lijebu-Ode, Ikenne, ljebu-North and Ogunwaterside asking the commission to look into it.

He added that his party has a petition for the commission.

While raising the objection, Yejide said, “The electoral act 2022, Section 24 Sub-Section three says where an election has commenced and there is reason to believe that there is or has been substantial destruction of election in a polling unit or constituency or it is impossible to continue with the election, occasioned by the threat to peace and security of electoral officials and materials.

“Electoral officials and materials should be underlined in the case of Remo where BVAS did not function and I argued it out. 

The commission shall suspend the election and appoint another date for the continuation of the election or the process.
