Adeoti was one of the 17 All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirants in the July 19 primary conducted by the party.

Adeoti, who announced his withdrawal a day before the primary, eventually scored 128 votes.

” I present a sober, deep and solid experience critically needed to lead a people-centred and masses-oriented administration as the governor of Osun State,’’ he said.

Earlier in his speech, Mr Dozie Ike, the ADP Electoral Committee Chairman, urged all members of the party to support Adeoti to win the election.

Also speaking, Mrs Lynn Olisa, the Secretary of the Electoral Committee, said 13, 400 party members were accredited for the primary while 13,367 voted.
