INEC as at 2.30 a.m. on Sunday declared 12 out of the 18 local government areas in Ondo State in the governorship election held on Saturday.
Akeredolu won in 10 local governments, while Eyitayo Jegede of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) just won in only two local government which are in Akure zone of the state and which is equally his strong hold
