Several reactions have trailed the result of the just concluded Ekiti governorship election as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kayode Fayemi, has emerged the winner.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC) on Sunday announced Mr. Fayemi as the winner of the election, having defeated the Deputy Governor of the state and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Professor Kolapo Olusola, and over 30 others in a keenly contested election.
Mr. Fayemi was victorious in 11 out of the 16 local government areas of the state, polling 197,459 votes, and edging out his closest rival Olusola who got 178,121 votes by 19,338 votes.
Following the declaration, many Nigerians have mixed reactions from the results of the election.
