National Commissioner in charge of Oyo, Ekiti and Osun States, Prince Solomon Adedeji Soyebi, presented the certificate to Fayemi at a ceremony held at INEC Secretariat in Ado-Ekiti.

Fayemi of the All Progressives Congress (APC) polled 197,459 votes to emerge winner of Saturday’s governorship election.

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola-Eleka, came second with 178,121 votes.

Fayemi, who is expected to be sworn in in October, was Ekiti governor from 2010 to 2014.
