“I have no doubt in my mind that I shall reclaim my mandate”, NAN quoted him saying.

Recall that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Ademola Adeleke, was declared as the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Adeleke was declared the winner with a total of 403,271 votes while Oyetola polled 375,027 votes.
