Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa of Ondo State and the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate has vowed to acknowledge defeat if he loses Saturday’s poll.
Aiyedatiwa, however, said he would concede defeat if the governorship election is free and fair.
He disclosed this while addressing journalists after casting his vote at polling unit 05, Igbo Ward 4, Obenla in Ilaje LGA of the state.
Aiyedatiwa said reports from his aides showed that the election has been largely peaceful in some other units of the state.
“If the outcome of the poll does not favour my party, APC, as long as we did not receive any report that it (poll) was fraudulent in any way.
“Why not? We will accept defeat. But if we notice any practices and non-compliance of the procedures.
“The only thing is to go to the tribunal to challenge that. By and large, if it goes that way, I will accept the outcome of the election.”
