I Will Accept Defeat, If The Election Is Transparent

Meanwhile, Lucky Aiyedatiwa said he would accept defeat if the governorship election did not favour him.

Lucky Aiyedatiwa said that he would accept the outcome as long as the voting process remains peaceful.

The Ondo State Governor, who is seeking his re-election under the All Progressives Congress (APC) stated this while speaking to journalists immediately after casting his vote on Saturday (today).

He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) staff, the security agents and the people for the peaceful process of the election.

“I’ve just cast my vote. The assessment so far, the area has been peaceful, from the information at my disposal, but judging from what is happening here it is peaceful. People are generally exercising franchise by casting their votes peacefully and I want to believe that this is what is happening in other parts of the state.

“For INEC, they’ve been very transparent with the whole process. I went through the process myself, accreditation, given the ballot paper and I casted my vote, and that is what they have been doing for every voter. So I think that it is the process. So they are adhering to the process.
