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.
