As the incumbent governor, Aiyedatiwa has already made a significant impact on the state. He previously served as the deputy governor under Rotimi Akeredolu from 2021 to 2023 and became the acting governor in December 2023 after Akeredolu’s death. Aiyedatiwa’s experience in various sectors, including business, education, and politics, has equipped him with the skills necessary to drive growth and development in Ondo State.
The final collation of votes is currently underway, with Prof. Akinwumi Olayemi Durotimi, the Vice Chancellor of Federal University, Lokoja, serving as the Returning Officer of INEC. This process will formally confirm Aiyedatiwa’s victory and pave the way for his continued leadership of the state.
