Ambode alaso commended President Muhammadu Buhari, the leadership and members of APC and its supporters for the hard-fought victory.

According to him, it is a testament to the fact that the electoral value of the party has not waned.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Fayemi, who was the governor of the state between 2010 and 2014, was declared winner of the polls by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday.

He defeated his closest rival, Prof. Olusola Eleka, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with 197,459 to 178,121 votes.

Fayemi won in no fewer than 12 of the 16 councils, including the council of incumbent Gov. Ayodele Fayose.

He, however, urged those aggrieved with the result to channel their grievances to the appropriate quarters rather than resorting to self-help.
