Osun 2022: Why Oyetola Lost To Adeleke – Ogunlewe

Former Minister of Works and Housing, Adeseye Ogunlewe has revealed the reason the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won the just-concluded Osun governorship election.

Ogunlewe stated that PDP won the election because of the internal crisis in the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The former minister made this known in an interview with Daily Trust on Sunday.

Ogunlewe, however, said that the PDP’s victory in Osun will not affect the 2023 general elections.

The chieftain of the APC said that the ruling party needed to resolve the internal crisis in all the states ahead of the general poll.

Naija News recalls the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday declared the Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ademola Adeleke, as the winner of the Osun election.

Adeleke defeated the incumbent governor of the state and governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gboyega Oyetola and thirteen other candidates in the July 16th election.

Adeleke won 17 local government areas in the state, while Governor Oyetola won the remaining 13 local government areas.

He polled 403,371 votes to win the election, while the incumbent governor gathered 375,027 votes to come second in the election.

The PDP governorship candidate was declared the winner at the head office of INEC in Osogbo, the state capital which was used as the collation centre.
