Akure, Ondo state - After voting in the 2024 Ondo state governorship election ended in several polling units (PUs), the national secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, posted a cryptic update on social media.

The message from the Osun politician suggests that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of the ruling APC is coasting to victory.

Legit.ng reports that results in many other polling units have been counted with the process in other places reportedly still ongoing. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is expected to announce a winner for the election upon the completion of all collation processes and exercises.

Legit.ng gathered that ahead of the final collation of results at the INEC office in the state capital, Akure, police operatives were seen surveilling the premises in Alagbaka.

"Our mood in Akure now!!! Alhamdulillah (praise be to God)."

Meanwhile, the situation room at the APC’s national secretariat in Abuja has commenced monitoring the ongoing election process in Ondo state.
