From the results released by the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) on Sunday, which favours the candidate of APC , Prince Dapo Abiodun held firm lead in Ijebu-Ode, Ijebu North East, Remo , Egbaland,  and Ado Odo-ota, while also garnering some points in Yewaland despite  Akinlade's edge in his base.

Meanwhile the candidate of Allied Peoples Movement has rejected the election results announced by INEC. The APM Campaign Director General , Sarafa Ishola , said this on Sunday at the party’ s secretariat at Leme, Abeokuta.

Ishola said the election began peacefully on Saturday , but was allegedly hijacked by hoodlums and “ unidentified uniformed men ” during the collation stage . He said the results of the election were manipulated in favour of APC.

He said the APM had petitioned INEC in the state to investigate the “ infractions” and stop announcement of results forthwith.
The DG expressed concern that , despite the complaints , the INEC has started announcing the results.

Ishola said the APM rejects the results as being announced , declaring that “ it was hijacked, compromised and did not reflect the wishes of Ogun people .”

“ The people of Ogun state has been raped , ” Akinlade declared, saying hey will seek all legal means to “ undo the injustice. ”
