The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari, has emerged the winner in most of the local government areas in Osun State.
His main challenger and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, had a marginal inroad in only two local government areas of Ife zone of the state.
The Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, and the governorship candidate of the party in the last election in the state, Senator Iyiola Omisore, are from the Ife zone.
According to the results of the presidential poll released by the Independent National Electoral Commission on Sunday, Jonathan had marginal wins in Ife East and Ife Central Local Government Areas.
The results, which were announced as Fani-Kayode was boasting in a statement in Abuja on Sunday about his principal’s inroad into Osun State, left the PDP a distant second in the state.
The only senatorial seat announced so far as at press time by INEC also saw the APC emerging victorious.
Prof. Sola Adeyeye won Osun Central Senatorial District beating his PDP challenger by 137,379 votes to 82,529.
