The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, on Sunday disclosed that he was unaware a winner has emerged in the aftermath of Saturday’s governorship election in Osun.
Adamu’s statement is coming in the wake of the party’s candidate, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola’s loss to the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, Ademola Adeleke.
Oyetola had polled 375,027 votes and won in 13 local government areas of the state to come second behind Adeleke in the election.

Oyetola’s loss in Saturday’s poll has, however, come to the APC national chair as a surprise.
Adamu, who appeared on Arise TV programme on Sunday, denied having knowledge of the winner of the Osun governorship election.
“With due respect, my dear brother, I am just really hearing this from you. I have not formally heard the announcement from INEC, which is the independent commission responsible for election in Nigeria.
“I have not heard from them yet. Once I hear formally from INEC, I can be in a position to answer this particular question,” Adamu told Arise TV.
