A former governor of Ekiti State, MrAyo Fayose, was on Saturday declared winner of the PDP governorship primaries in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria,(NAN) reports that Fayose emerged winner with 462 votes out of a total of 477 votes cast.
Leader of the PDP panel which conducted the primaries Dr Peter Odili announced that immediate past Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade scored 7 votes.
Odili said that Mr Dayo Adeyeye came third with 3 votes while Mrs Modupe Ogundipe came forth with one vote.
He said a total of 544 delegates were accredited for the exercise, out of which four votes were voided.
Shortly after his announcement as candidate of the party, Mr Ayo Fayose said he would justify the confidence reposed in him by “wrestling power from the incumbent governor Kayode Fayemi of APC”.
He called on other aspirants, who contested, to join him in the task ahead and forget their differences.
