Reports however showed that at Unit 1, Ward 3 in Ejigbo local government where Hussain voted, the APC got 152 votes while Adeleke got 148 votes.
Early reports also show that in Unit 1, WARD 1 (Awo/ Abodu), Egbedore local government, Adeleke scored 569 against APC’s 195.
Residents say the election was tilting towards Adeleke as winner because the people are not happy with the way the APC in the state went about nominating a candidate.
Adeleke dumped the PDP in protest as he was not picked to replace his brother, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, who died in alleged mysterious circumstances recently.

NAIJAZEAL.com learnt that residents trooped out, defiling the early morning rain, to take part in the exercise.
After voting at Unit 9, Ward 2, Sagba Abogunde compound in Ede North at 8:30, Adeleke said: “As you can see, it rained this morning before the voting exercise commenced.
“This is a signal to the fact that I will carry the day. With this large turnout, it is unarguable that I will beat Hussein hands down by God's grace.”
NAIJAZEAL.com had reported that the younger brother of late Isiaka Adeleke, Demola, emerged the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for the Osun West Senatorial District bye-election.
It was gathered then that Mr Ademola Adeleke, who had been cleared to contest for the primary on the platform of APC, defected to PDP on Tuesday evening June 13.
